[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1644012, member: 21149"] Hi. You've had many good posts so far and it looks like you may not need any statins. Note that a lipids test should be fasting. A decision to have statins should only be based on fasting lipids results. Very few GPs keep up with the current knowledge about cholesterol and lipids ratios etc. I can only suggest you tell your GP what your ratios are and that they are considered good and therefore stains not needed. Low cholesterol is as bad as high cholesterol and side effects are common. I do take statins with no side effects but I check I don't take a dose that's too high. My wife took statins and they almost killed her liver - they can be dangerous but the GP never raised a yellow card of course. [/QUOTE]
