Sharing My Experience: Lean, Mean, Fighting Machine to Obese Individual With Full Blown Live Cirrhosis
I was put on BP medicine and
statins
, and received nutritional and lifestyle counseling many times. I also developed a lot of calcium oxalate kidney stones, and probably passed 20 between 1980 and 2000.

Statins and CLL.
My g.p is pushing for me to start taking
statins
and I don't know whether that's a good idea or not. I will of course discuss it at my next hospital appointment in April.

Good day all,
Sept. 2014 I had a 85 count but at the same time was put on
statins
and high blood pressure medicine by my family doctor. This actually dropped my count to 64 but also dropped my platelets from normal to 120, so I stopped these meds. April 2015 at 86 WBC, I started an ARTEMISININ protocol of Dr.

Heart med side affects
Which we put down to the
statins
, so they clearly work. I’m reluctant to give them up completely for that reason. Having a blood test followed by GP appointment in 3 weeks time, to see what’s happening with my LDL. Uncertain where to go from here.

Statins & Metformin
Simvastatin, which had more users than the other
statins
combined, was disappointing. This is a concern for me, since previous studies were favorable & I have been using it for over a dozen years because of that. On the other hand, when I checked this morning, I was still alive.

I had a HA in April 2019 2 stents and been taking Aspirin, ramipril 5mg , eleperone 25mg, prasugrel 10mg, Bisoprolol 5mg and
statins

The reviews read very good although some folk had the same reactions as they did from
statins
due to the addition of monacolin K.

Advice on cholesterol please
My problem is the fact that I have had a bad reaction to

statins
?

I have familiar hypercholesterolamia, so
statins

COULD FATIGUE BE CAUSED BY ATORAVASTATIN
I have been taking CoEnzyme Q10 and L-Carnitine for only a week which are supposed to counter side effects of
statins
. Has anyone found this to be true? I hope there will be improvements this coming weekend. Thanks.
