Hello @yvonnewh2652,
I'd like to invite @chanda79, @emack, @caroline58 and @louise60 who have all talked about being diagnosed and managing FMD to share how they have treated their condition.
@yvonnewh2652, you mentioned you did not want to take medication. If you are comfortable sharing, was that what was recommended by your provider? Have you experienced side effects on cholesterol medications before which is why you'd like to avoid them?

I have lower LDL cholesterol than the reference for healthy people, according to the chief physician at the vascular medicine clinic I should be at < 1.4 mmol/L. I now have 1.9. I have aspirin 75 mg daily. After very strong myalgias with Atorvastatin since 2023, I have now switched to 5 mg Rosuvastatin with the addition of Ezetimibe 10 mg. It is difficult to determine the side effects as I have only had it for two month and also fell from a ladder.
