finding non statin fixes
I had a heart attack in july '13 and have been prescribed various statins which i've tried to take, despite major misgivings about the disastrous impact they have on PN.
Because I have tried both lipitor & crestor with horrible results, my cardiologist to try pravastatin. I did, and it's no better than the first two.
So here's my problem: I made a pact with him to try it for 2 weeks & if it's still intolerable, he will consider non statins. But I have the distinct sense that he's upset at having to deviate from the cardiology playbook.
I was hoping that a PNer who's faced a similar dilemma can point me to some non statin fixes.
