Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tabbyjoolz" data-source="post: 1834158" data-attributes="member: 326717">I wouldn't touch statins with a sh*tty stick. My practice tried bullying me for ages about taking them - to the extent that they even filed two prescriptions for me to pick up from my designated pharmacy. After a very strongly worded email to the practice manager, the automatic statin prescriptions and the texts urging me to take them, stopped. My lovely pharmacist, well aware of people's distrust of statins - and my wrath (angry at the practice, not the pharmacist), has agreed to support me in my refusal.It's the old doctor - the head of the practice - who is the trouble. I refuse to see him point blank and always see a more sympathetic doctor, who goes through my cholesterol, trigs etc; and says I am fine.</blockquote>
