[QUOTE="clearviews, post: 157717, member: 20752"] A statin by any other name......... Mine was Lipitor. Incredible arm pain like what I imagine RSI might feel like. Stopped taking it and the pain went away. Why was I on it? Well, diabetics need to have an overall cholesterol reading of 4.0 and below. When I equate the pain and the medication my GP glazes over. I decreased carbs and increased fat (yes, that is not a misprint-fat-increased) and down and down went my cholesterol readings (the bad ones anyway) and up went my good cholesterol. My non-diabetic husbbnd wanted what I was getting- more energy, weight loss, great non-diabetic BG control etc and he joined me low carbing and increased fat and guess what?!!!! His cholesterol figures (not medicated) improved out of sight! I am not an anomaly. There are many more LCHF out there getting the same results as me (and my husband). Now I read that Nexium (reflux preventative) has the potential to deplete Vit B12 and this can bring on neuropathy. I took it for many years and had neuropathy happening long before T2 was diagnosed. GP looked reflective when I shared this little gem with her. She was not the instigator of prescribing this med but continued issuing repeats without warning me. Would I know what the implications were a few years before DB? No, but heck...... Alison [/QUOTE]
