[QUOTE="sip, post: 257253, member: 2419"] So you should. Have the heebeegeebees. My previous GP was fanatical about Metformin & Statins and believed that every person in the UK should be taking these on a daily basis. I have never had high cholesterol and my levels have always been at the midpoint of the acceptable range. My fasting blood test readings surprised my GP (me being a 20-a-day man, leading a sedentary lifestyle and suffering with advanced NASH [cirrhosis]). They put me on a treadmill to check out my heart & BP, and apart from my being slightly out-of-breath (which could be explained by smoking and [i]anisocytosis[/i]), but the GP insisted I should be on statins: I stopped seeing that GP soon after consulting medical personnel in the extended family and my two best friends: :) Google & Wikipedia :) At one point even the BBC was waxing lyrical about statins -- makes you wonder if someone somewhere has a hidden agenda. When the dailies started reporting on the negative side of statins, Aunty soon changed her mind. [/QUOTE]
