[QUOTE="forty six, post: 678380, member: 72202"] Thank you for your comment, but do you not feel that the severe stress I was under at the time of the test has some impact on what have always been perfectly good results. I do not know what the guidelines are Cyprus but here, contrary to popular belief, NICE have never set lipid control limits as: [B]“[I]A target for total cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is not recommended for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease[/I].” “[I]The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) does not recommend the use of target levels of cholesterol for people taking statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. This is because it found no clinical trials in primary prevention that have evaluated the relative and absolute benefits of achieving different cholesterol targets in relation to clinical events[/I].”[/B] So if the controlling body in the UK don't set guidelines where do our GP's get their recommendations from? Also it is not a case of 'for now at least' as I will never accept statin treatment. I am now more aware of the damage they do to your body at a cellular level. All testing has been funded by the people marketing and selling them,[U][B] with no testing at all on women[/B][/U]. I therefore have no trust in the tablets and the NHS for supplying them. The makers of 1 particular statin in the USAare currently in court as there is a link between it's product and patients developing diabetes. Why would I want to put that in my body. Dr's can give advice but they do not have to live with this condition and it is us that have to make the best decision for our health. [/QUOTE]
