Does it affect your triglycerides?. I read online it is a side effect. My triglycerides are high, but my other levels are good. There is no heart disease in my family. I'm not worried , just curious
I can't take statins, I have tried two different times. They attacked my muscles. I will never take them again

Your thryoid can throw anything in the body into a flux. Cherry sometimes the body tells you what's not good for you. Some Doctors say that the new guidelines for statin are really low and it looks like who ever is sending out directive wants it in the drinking water.

My endocrinologist Dr tried to talk me into statins, by saying they can save your life. I told her they wouldn't be saving mine.
When I told my internist that ,she laughed. She knows what statins did to me
I also have type 2 diabetes, and I read that can upset your lipids as well
My Cholesterol level is 215 so it's a bit high, but not terrible

Why ask women who shop? It's something you should ask your doctor.

It attacked the muscles in my arm. It was very painful.. My muscles in my neck and shoulder contracted, and wouldn't relax. My arm felt like electricy was burning it ,for a long time. I tried taking another drug ,for cholesterol and it did it again
We aren't all the same . You might not have any problems. I come from a family that makes a lot of cholesterol, so that is only 1 part of the puzzel
I've had a heart cath and my arteries and valves are fine.
