Hey come on guys.
Yes, the doctor should of been a bit more diplomatic. Doesn't help anyone being negative. Again they have probably misinformed you.
I had to take Simvastatin for 6 months to clear my high cholesterol and unblock my clogged arteries, due to bad diet and smoking. When I had my tests and was given the all clear, there was no reason to keep taken them. That was about 18 months ago. A regime of exercise and healthy and full fibre meals helped me get there. Statins get the the fatty substances out your system, if you make the necessary changes, they won't be forever. Yes do your research, BUT; if you don't try them, how do you or anybody know that there gonna work for you. Ever body is different, every medication works differrently for each individual and in different combinations. You have to give the medication time to get into your system and work your body, usually about a month for it to settle and yes there maybe side effects. As I've said before, is give it a go and see if it works, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If it worries you get the second opinion from your regular doctor if possible. But more importantly stay positive as you seem to be doing really well. Keep up the fight.
