I really don't want to go on statins. I do not need to be re-sidelined by side effects from a regimen that, from all appearances, would provide no benefit to me, but would be of great help to the pharmaceutical industry.
BUT ... my LDL is over 200. Maybe I'm just being stupid?
On the other hand, they also say that all diabetics should be on statins. Blatant BS. But then again, my LDL is horrific.
HDL's OK, though. Don't have a genetic condition that I know of. Blood pressure is fine.
Have any of you actually benefited from statins?
If so, maybe I need to do a 180 and go with the statin flow. Would be far from the first time I've had to reform.
