[QUOTE="Merluza, post: 720145, member: 44701"] Possible side effects - fatigue or general lassitude, feeling of slowing down in thought processes, shambling walk, diminished reflexes, associated clumsiness, pins and needles in both arms, shooting pains in legs. You may not experience any of these, I experienced them all and quit the wretched things before they did serious damage and probably cost me my job. My combined cholesterol count is 5.4 and I don't consider it to be high enough to suffer the side effects. If it gets above 8 as with lunalinda I might consider it. Your cholesterol level is fine, well within normal (that's for normal people of course not abnormal ones like us diabetics). Research seems to show a variation in the level of production and need for cholesterol between individuals and the average is not necessarily useful. I wouldn't want to run the risk of any of the side effects, even if it's only fatigue, if I were you. Look at your diet if needs be and reduce any saturated fats. [/QUOTE]
