Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I eat healthy fresh organic food, exercise daily, have normal weight. I am happy and active. The only time that changes is when I take statins/Repatha. Then I’m sick, in pain and bedridden. My internist said,” what’s the point in getting your number down if you can’t get out of bed?”

I saw an acupuncturist today for the first time. He made suggestions that I will try. He also recommended a natural Chinese remedy for sleep. I was allergic to Ambien sleeping pills and itched all night. THC kept me awake. Melatonin gave me night terrors. I’m going to try the Chinese sleeping aids tonight. He also gave me a recipe for smoothies for heart health. We will see.
