Bye Bye Statin!
The last blood test showed I still have high protein levels. They were going to stop the statin and put me on another cholesterol med but since it was too expensive we are going to try Metamucil instead. The pharmacist recommended this, cheaper and its natural. Still has some side effects, gas, tummy ache/cramps, nausea, so will start on low dose and see how it goes. I am hoping going off the statin will make my muscle aches go away. And I can have grapefruit juice again, yeay!
