It seems prescription-by-email is a two-edged sword ...
So I just got an email from my Dr. She'd like me to start Simvastatin/Zocor right away. I wrote back, basically asking her to hold off a bit, 'cause I haven't really tried diet and exercise until now (felt too lousy to exercise, didn't know I needed a diabetic diet ...).
Also, from what I understand, the possible side effects are very much like the symptoms I had when I was at my worst.
On April 1, my LDL was 198. HDL was 52.
Am I being too-too stubborn? Or am I just taking reasonable steps to keep functioning?
