Thank you CalOrey!! You made my day. So many individuals take statins; therefore, I had bad feelings of myself thinking something was really wrong inside. Thank you for the reassurance!!! Have a great day!

Nah, as a health author for decades,I had to be my own advocate. I was put me on those nasty pills. My cholesterol isn't off the charts. Depression, muscle waste, and my glucose levels shot up to pre-diabetic! Enough. Got the book The Great Cholesterol Myth. Ch 8 The Statin Deception.

Statins put me--a healthy guru--in a wheelchair! As an author I couldn't write or do simple tasks--mush mind. I have worked with many docs who are anti-statins. I stopped. After stents, angio, a few heart meds? I am so back writing, got my writer brains, and working out. Got a clearance for everything. Statins can work for some but not all.

Thank you Karen!! I have been taking magnesium vitamin on my own along with Krill Oil vitamin. So, I might have a great check-up with my primary care doctor. I have NOT been to a cardiologist yet. Apparently my doctor doesn't think I need it yet!! LOL She has been prescribing statins since my Ldl is so high when she takes my blood lipid panel. Thank you again so very, very much.

my doctor told me to take magnesium & potassium supplements. it worked for me
