cool wet and numb feeling-left temple and loss of balance-about 12 years now . I had tests taken and nothing was found,no problem with blood clots or plaque. The only thing found was I have high cholesterol in the blood and the doc put me on Lipotor and I started to have terrible leg cramps , I was taken off Liptor and put on a special diet. I followed the diet to the T and the cholesterol count went up, I was put on another deit, the cholesterol went up again. I tried my own deit and ate everything in front of me, like several gallons of milk a week, 6 -12 eggs in the morning, over a dozen donuts at a time,ect. When I went back to the DOC , my cholesterol was down and this was when the DOC told me ,YOU are one of those people who has high cholesterol in the blood and we don't know why. The DOC suggested putting me on a new drug. I ask the DOC do you think it could be I don't drink much or any water during the day, He put his head in his hands ,shook his head yes AND THAT IS WHEN I LEFT.
