Statins oh Statins again
If
Statins
are meant to do virtually the same thing as a deterrent then why do people have to keep switching over because of intolerance to one and not another. Surely the aim of the drug is to lower cholesterol etc. So why the diversity ?

Angiogram clear, what next? Microvascular?
I'll still stay on the
statins
for my cholesterol until I speak to a doctor about another blood test to check levels. So I guess I wait for 7-10 days for the results to filter through to the doctors and then phone to see what happens next.

Things are settling down...
Cholesterol is improving due to
statins
. I take both meds in the evening. I did have a bad episode recently which had all the symptoms of a stroke but after 24 hours in neurology it was considered to have been a mimic stroke caused by a migraine. No headache but a load of other symptoms.

Morning back stiffness
The only thing I have done differently is I have started taking
Statins
, but I left them off for a few days and although the pain stiffness didn't seem as bad it was hard to tell if the statin was the cause. I am on a very low Statin dose anyway.

No stent extra meds
After having a cardiology angiogram last I was told then by the cardiologist that I would need a stent but he would speak to colleagues. Then I got a letter to say I’m staying on my meds plus statin’s and aspirin. My finding were “Access was via the right radial artery. Results showed mild ascending

Help! Trepidation setting in…
Having largely ignored insulin dependent diabetes since my diagnosis, due to the fact that I am invincible, having slowly and blatantly increased in weight since my teens and being prescribed
Statins
at 40 years old, I have finally received a wake up call. A baby. Not my first, but my first boy.

Diet advice please! Low carb vs wholegrain carbs...
Came back to
statins
as a result, trying simvastatin now as I suspected atorvastatin was making me feel like a zombie. I went back on wholegrain carbs (not too much), and cut the saturated fat, just having olive oil and proactiv spread. Now I'm gaining weight!
