[QUOTE="Sparklygal, post: 299774, member: 44855"] I may as well join in this thread too as I was gonna make a separate post. Two GPs at my practice have been trying to get me to take Crestor (Simvastatin) for a few years now and I always go away with the 'script and get them but don't take them. I just can't stand the thought of having to take another damned tablet plus I watched the Horizon docu on bbc2 in 2009 I think Pillpoppers. Basically this put me off further! A consultant I saw at the hospital told me about a few months before in 09 my cholesterol level was 5.2 she said my good cholesterol was high which was good and the bad was a tad high which wasn't so good but she didnt see the need to prescribe anything. it has since crept up to 5.4 and most recently 5.8 and I know if I could stop eating chcocolate and crisps and cut down the carbs a lot it'd likely reduce naturally on its own. Just can't stick with lower carb for more than a day or two. i keep on giving in to my cravings but at the same time I know if i persevered they'd eventually disappear altogether. :roll: [/QUOTE]
