    I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad. What you said is very accurate. Someone who's taken what you mentioned is likely to be up at 5am wondering when the tab is going to wear off. The other stuff? Never interested.

    My father died of essentially the same thing at age 62, perhaps caused by something else. Unfortunately, he had a genetic issue that caused his body to not process lipids, something I inherited, but unlike him, I have access to life saving Statins, like Lipitor, that I take in relatively large doses. Keeps my lipids normal. When he was in his 30's, he had globules of fat grow out on his skin. Freaked out his doctor. Ended up going out of state to the Mayo Clinic, where they tested his lipids twice, because the 1st reading was so outrageously high that they assumed it was in error.

    Because Dad was a university professor with outstanding health insurance, he had a great cardiologist and a world class heart surgeon, Dr. Denton Cooley, who did one of Houston's early bypass operations on him. My father took every experimental drug that came down the pike. None of them worked. Sadly, because of his age at the time, he couldn't get a heart transplant. I still miss him.
