Did you keep taking statin?
I was taking CoQ10, my heart doctor said I don't need because the statin is not causing muscle pain.
I mean I see boxes of this supplement in
every store, especially Costco.
I can't be sure if it helped me.
I mean how do you really know?
Now I have a small bottle of mullein and I'm ruminating over that even though I've heard good things about it helping breathing.
I'm going to ask my Pulmonologist tomorrow about the mullein.
Bet myself a steak dinner he won't commit.
My heart doctor is the only one that tells it like it is.
I think I'm ranting.
I've been so depressed lately.

@sheila7a No the effects were too severe. Even the inexperienced nurse practitioner was concerned and said stop. That's when the cardiologist started Repatha, which I tolerate okay. I get extreme fatigue later in the day of taking it, so switched to evening shot with early bedtime and am easy next day. So far it's keeping my LDL way down without a statin. I take CoQ10 by his recommendation, because I also have coronary artery disease, have had angina, and have a dreadful family history of severe heart disease.
When I was hit with MAC and Bronchiectasis, chronic pain, and then Covid started, I was depressed too. The pain rehab clinic recommended a counselor who helped a lot. I still meet with her occasionally. Have you talked to anyone?
