Statin Dosage
I have been taking 20mg of atorvastatin for a number of years. In a conversation with my Family Practicioner who prescribes my atorvastatin, I mentioned a recent study that suggests a positive effect of statins on advanced prostate cancer mortality. If I read the study correctly, most of the patients

Cholesterol problem and taking Crestor
To Barry1, Your doctor is wrong. All the symptoms you are mentioning with weakness and muscle pain are side effects from Crestor. Statins are too dangerous to take because of all the side effects. I have high cholesterol too, but I refuse any medication for it. Change the way you eat and eat only good

Lupus/APS and cod liver oil
Hi, I'm 49, and have lupus with antiphospholipid syndrome. I'm currently on lifelong warfarin, statins, vit D, hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate injections. The inflammatory arthritis is very painful, would cod liver oil be safe to take with anticoagulants? I think the oil would help with the inflammation
