Cholesterol Problem!!?

I heard that you shouldn’t really worry about the "Total Cholesterol" but rather your HDL, LDL & Triglycerides. Is it true?
I am a 29 yrs old woman. I did blood test 3 times this year, and here is my results:

On 3/2007
HDL (57), LDL (120), Tri (60), Total Cholesterol (189)
On 7/2007
HDL (68), LDL (151), Tri (88), Total Cholesterol (237) <=Red Flag.
On 11/2007
HDL (62), LDL (136), Tri (67), Total Cholesterol (211) <=Still high.

My diet is pretty the same all year along, I don’t know what I ate that make it rise so much from March to July. Then I pay more attention to what I put in my mouth, I started taking fish oil and eliminate much greasy food. I also start eating 15 almonds per day. It drops a little, but it is still kinda high.

And how is the "total cholesterol" calculated? is it HDL+LDL+Triglycerides? Mine doesn’t add up, so I am curious of how they calculate that.

What are some good natural remedies for Fibromyalgia pain?

I have Fibromyalgia and I need to get rid of this pain. I’m tired of laying down all day because I hurt too much. Is there any natural ways to relieve pain (food wise) other than taking a bath and using a heating pad and exercising (I can’t even do that, too painful, but I do walk the dog 3 times a day). Is there something that I can eat that will help this go away? I’m losing my husband because of this shit and at 21 years old, I shouldn’t even be feeling this way! Please help me!
