[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1471046, member: 245335"] My experience is that at Christmas my total cholesterol was 4, in March it was 5.7. What changed? More cheese and real yoghurt plus a smattering of double cream in January through March. I have now stopped all dairy and feel relatively confident that my TC will go back to 4 when next tested in June. GP seems to think it's a good idea and hasn't pushed (won't push) for me to take statins again. I tolerated statins for 17 years and had all the usual side effects of muscle pain, poor sleep and brain fog (cognitive impairment) and also had to tolerate a stupid doctor giving me all sorts of rubbish excuses for my symptoms when I knew it was the statins. I don't take then now and so long as my cholesterol is around 5.4 I'm not worrying. It's worth me mentioning that not everyone feels the side effects that I did. [/QUOTE]
