I'm on 40 mg of Lipitor per day to treat my high cholesterol. Have been for years; long before MS. So, I have no way to compare how not being on a statin would be different.

I asked my neurologist about cholesterol meds to treat MS a long time ago. He said it wasn't proven yet, and, that doses would have to be pretty high.

That's sort of vague information. Sorry that I can't answer your question better.
