Ok thanks for the good advice Andrew. I guess I'm just tired of the energy it takes to manage this disease and want it to go away. Will eat a little more [emoji106]

I've had cholesterol that has been on the high side since I was 25. I was thin and active so it was a genetic "gift". Statins give me terrible body aches. My Dr says the statins block the formation of some enzymes and that is what gives the aches. He prescribed CoQ10 which is supposed to help...
