You’ve been through it. All I ask of my cardiologist is that they believe me. I am not STUPID. I also refuse to take meds to mask the side effects of other meds etc. that’s a very slippery slope. I deeply distrust PHARMA. I just read today about a new cholesterol lowing drug approved by the FDA. It says it has the same side effects as the placebo. Doors that mean NO side effects. Also, because it’s new they don’t really know what long term effects it has, but it’s supposed to lll o we’re cholesterol by 60% which out performs any other cholesterol reducing drugs. I’ll post the name of it here.
