[QUOTE="bigbluebouncy, post: 341101, member: 55571"] Hi Dylansdad, sounds medically unethical to me to suggest putting you on any drug without test readings to suggest it will benefit you! My last total chols were high at 6.49 total but I had very high HDL - and altho the nurse said she would normally have wanted to prescribe statins I made it clear I wasn't going to take them. Read up on their effects and how they change the way your body chemicals interact, and make sure you research how your cholesterol breakdown sits in the charts at CURRENT levels is what I'd recommend before accepting a medicine that has so many documented side-effects. There are good articles in here and other places, and books if thats how you like to get info about how the different lipids work, and what the statins do. Hope that helps, BBB [/QUOTE]
