My GP was pressuring me just last week to go on Zocor because my overall number is 215. All the other factors they're using indicate that I shouldn't worry. Even their stupid calculator gave me a 1% (yes, one percent) risk assessment. I
have no intention of taking any of this stuff. I told her my biggest risk is not enough excercise because my pain isn't properly controlled. I'm sticking to that.
