Anyone else "mourn" their NO-MEDS SELF before a STATIN?

I resisted statins for years with borderline cholesterol and my very healthy lifestyle to bank on Now I know better. They don’t just work on cholesterol metabolism
there are other beneficial effects.
CoQ10 is another underrated supplement that does more than just counter side effects of statins.
A carotid ultrasound can be important in our risk evaluation for soft plaque.
Keep up your healthy discipline and your vitamin D levels.

@seniormed Hi and thank you for your reply. I guess there does come a time when we, as humans, do all we can, then at some point, realize that there may be things we just cannot control and to allow modern medicine to help us out. I'm glad you also reached that conclusion.
I also take CoQ10, and had started that even before the statin. I recently DID get the CIMT ultrasound (Carotid Inter-Media Thickness) done and will find out what my plaque burden is in my neck. I'm a bit nervous to find out about that, but at least I am on the rosuvastatin in case it ends up matching my moderate plaque burden in my heart arteries. I do take Vitamin D, as well Vitamin K-2 M-7. I also take a Multiple Daily and Vitamin C. Thank you for your encouragement and support! Take good care! Keep up your own good work on your health!
