[QUOTE="Outlier, post: 2565246, member: 550046"] My GP asked me why I was refusing statins. I said that, in no particular order, they would raise my BG that I had worked so hard to reduce, raise my BP which wasn't a problem now but had been in the past, and increase my weight that I had worked so hard to reduce. There was a short pause. "I've never heard of it increasing weight" he said. So you agree the other two then? I didn't say (as I need him on-side). And I hadn't even mentioned the muscle pain, the brain fog etc. etc. or that tests and scans revealed my blood vessels were totally clear, my HDL/Trig levels are okay (thanks Bulkbiker for working it out for me) and while my LDL is a little higher than they would like, I'm A. old and B. female, so I should be cut some slack there - and it IS going down. I am not taking statins........... [/QUOTE]
