My cholesterol is quite high. Most people don’t think a small person like myself would have high cholesterol, but it is genetic in my family. When I was on the Big 3, I was given a choice to take or not to take pravastatin due to my liver. I chose not to take it along with the Big 3 and waited till I was done with that piece. Pravastatin ( an older statin) is supposed to be quite safe in terms of other statins. Personally I’m not a fan of statins and prefer to be careful with what I eat which is hard for me because there has never been a carbohydrate I don’t love. Having MAC I decided it was more important to get rid of that invader first. (irene5)
