I took lipitor for a couple months, my cholesterol went down, but I started having sx. Can't say there's a link, but that's what happened, and my doc took me off the med, I never tried another.

My current pcp is a cardiologist. He says if I was to do one thing, to take fish oil supps. My cholesterol is high, but my good C is higher than my bad, so I do not need any meds. High C runs in the family, so diet alone is not going to cut it for me.



I have to wonder if it's worth living a few extra years if I have to eat oatmeal every day. I could maybe sign on for once a week, but that's my limit.
