High triglycerides or hyper-lipidemia. My Dr. says that extreme hyper-lipidemia can be genetic and I believe him. I'm the oldest of seven and I have a brother and a sister who get attacks as well. My sister lives in pretty much constant pain. I only have pain when I have an attack. My triglycerides are always high...5-8 thousand range but they get to over 20,000 when I'm having an attack. They should be about 100.
I’m surprised there isn’t a better treatment and hope there will be.
