I’ve always been quite anti statins and refused them at diagnosis despite ldl being a bit high. (Opting to see how low carb helped). Now I’m reading xanthaloma (yellow lumps in corners of eyelid) can be related to both high cholesterol and diabetes. This week I’ve come up in sporadic “spots” on my legs that just might be eruptive xantoma also linked to both.
Does anyone has any experience with these? Is there evidence of which groups of patients specifically are helped by statins? I’ve heard of familial hypercholesteroleamia (sp?) which may be different to standard high lipids in evidence and reasoning to take statins
