Statin Dilemma

Thank you to everyone who replied to my post. I had my telephone appointment with the Lipid Clinic. I did refuse the Simvastatin 10 mg once again. I do have an appointment booked with the GP in two weeks time, to discuss going forward. The thing to remember is of course that we are all so individual, therefore need to find solutions suitable to each of us personally. This forum has been so informative, realistic and helpful around the subject of cholesterol.

Thank you for your update on a new post. Please list all your questions you want to ask for your 10 minutes appointment and answers. Please ask your GP to do on line risk analysis and offer full explanation and aso to show what lipid or any other blood numbers has to be reduced or increased.

I am sure you can achieve your objectives with life style change.
