Hi,
I've been on arimidix for two years now and my good cholesterol went down (40)while my bad cholesterol went up (124). My doctor is waiting to see if it improves. I am not overweight as a matter of fact I hit the gym at least 4 times/week. Before arimidix I had very low cholesterol (65) so it about doubled. I am in the process of trying to learn more about foods which may improve the good cholesterol. From what I've been reading the good cholesterol may be more important than the bad. Let me know what your doctor does with the info.
