Bempedoic Acid
It has been suggested that I start taking Bempedoic acid (Nustendi) tablets in addition to Ezetimbe - (which I have been taking for years) - as I have Familial Hypercholesterolaemia and am unable to tolerate
Statins
. I am just awaiting results of blood tests before I start the drug.

Statins and side effects
This report has made me rethink whether I should start again and make absolutely certain that the pain is caused by the
statins
and not by other things such as diet, foodstuffs, drink, other pills, exercise etc. or even a mental block!

I'm trying to have a baby as it maybe my last chance.
I was put on
statins
to lower my cholesterol. It was recommended by the doctors to try for a baby due to the
statins
. My partner wasn't kin for a baby due not wanting me to come off the
statins
, being at risk of a heart attack and a stroke.

High HDL & High LDL/Statin will be negative for liver right? My liver enzymes are elevated already.
My question is, won't
statins
negatively impact my liver? I've read online that they do and because of my already high reading of liver enzymes should I not take them? He's calling in a Rx for the cholesterol issue today. By the way, yesterday was my first day on Wellbutrin.

I have run out of feathers to spit!
She then wanted me to try
statins
as my cholesterol was slightly raised. I pointed out when my thyroid levels were good, my cholesterol was good, but we would not know now...

HELP PLEASE.
I have done research that you need to come off the
statins
at least two months before trying. So my question is anyone on
statins
come off them to try for a baby and how did you manage your cholesterol?

Taking statins does not commonly cause muscle pain, researchers say
And what happens if someone on
statins
becomes hypothyroid?

High blood pressure
Doctor suggested i am borderline for
statins
and obviously there are side effects from that. Plus it is then a long term medication. Anybody else with a similar problem or have any solutions? Ìm not really overweight and do not drink much. Thanks.

Alternative to Omeprozole
Refused
statins
5 years ago but considered them last year as terrible exercise tolerance and some scary near fainting episodes. Still don't take them. It genuinely never occurred to me that my kidneys were poor.
