Thanks for responding Leslie. I've also been avoiding caffeine. I'm not sure that my cholesterol level is causing me problems but I'm not sure that it isn't either. Either way my guess is that the minimum level of necessary cholesterol is different for people with different metabolisms. Plus the level needed to replenish stress hormones is related to how much stress one has been experiencing and one's response to stress. Even if this isn't my problem I don't want to rule it out just yet.

BTW I went to a regular doctor today who isn't concerned with my cholesterol level. So now that I have a second opinion and they are in conflict with each other. I suspect that since having low cholesterol is very rare in the u.s. compared to having high cholesterol most aren't going to see it as a problem even if it is one.

Is anyone aware of this issue?
