[QUOTE="Cowboyjim, post: 187533, member: 23128"] [b]Re: STATIN QUESTIONS and ANSWERS[/b] This is all very well but why is the liver making too much cholesterol? As I wrote elsewhere my DN wants me to get mine down from a 'reasonable' 5.5 to under 4. And of course the only thing she could suggest is statin pills. I took them a year ago and got a low reading of 1.8 and another of 2.8. Ergo... back on the statins. I stopped taking them (simvastatin) because I was hurting and felt my mind was going... could not concentrate as well etc. I am tempted to try them again and see how much it hurts. 8) That said can I monitor my own cholesterol level with a gadget like my Accuchek that the NHS will give me free?
