I have hereditary high cholesterol. If any doctor insist you take a statin, but refuses to hear how it makes you feel, time to find a new doctor who listens. There is a simple blood test which can prove you can’t take statins. Have you doctor check your immuno-globulins. There are 5 sets of immunoglobulins. The one you need is IgE. It will prove what you’re telling the doctor is true.
