How high is "pretty high" cholesterol? If you are put on Simvastin, watch out for ANY increase in muscle pain. It can be very debilitating - I had extreme pain in one leg just getting out of bed. I now rely on oat bran & Flora pro-active. The only prescription drugs I take are metformin & mini aspirin.

Weight loss will help in every way.

hi ian been on statins about 3wks now you may be right cos i only had the muscle aches for that time but doc said she would check again in 3wks."pretty high cholesterol" is docs word but not sure how bad no aches at all today but on diclofenic so maybe they are working had them before quite strong
 
Ian have had porridge every day for years i was brought up on it but not buying proactive "too expensive" we are both pensioners and my hubby has to have low spread as well for cholesterol--heart problems thanx anyway
