@nekosuki As a person who has all kinds of weird side effects and find meds very difficult to tolerate, I empathize your experience. I've had "borderline high cholesterol" for years and years. Diet didn't help me either. Changing to olive oil did nothing. One thing that made a difference was yoga and meditation. I think it was the meditation actually although those yoga poses made my heart pound so it was a good workout. Lowest my cholesterol/trig levels ever were. I haven't practice either for a number of years, but feeling the need to resume at least the deep breathing/meditation. I now walk and use resistance training for exercise instead of yoga poses. The teacher I had back then had healed himself of a brain tumor by both of these practices...amazing testimony. Stress affects our bodies in so many many ways, and our lives are fast-paced. We don't realize it until we can really slow down and stop the chatter in our heads too. Wishing you success in your quest to find an answer for you!

My Doc put me on Rosuvastatin over a year ago because of the amount of plaque I had in my Carotid arteries. It’s working perfectly. No additional plaque buildup occurring. I’ve had no side affects from the medication.
