Mrs.D Thank you for the link. And yes i'm also happy that cryoglobulins is normal.My cholesterol was ranging from 213-233, HDL from 49-50, LDL from 148-163 and my triglyceride was as high as 173 thats when they put me on Simvastatin. They switched me to Pravastatin when Simvastatin was black flap by the FDA.

Do you know what your cholesterol was before the statin?
You will be interested to learn a new form of drug that is NOT a statin is being investigated, and is supposed to be better. We'll see on that. According to some new research lowering cholesterol at all by any means is not a good idea.
This researcher is working independent of drug company money and is finding out interesting things.

There are some very interesting YouTubes with her too.
I suggest you watch them when you get a chance. |
