@wilweten thanks for this information I have to weigh this carefully because I'm also taking a GLP 1 and I have read some studies where statins interfere with glp1 efficacy and that it would concern me because being 30% overweight would not be a good thing and I will gain the weight back absolutely if I go off the GLP ones or they stop working. I'm going to catch 22 situation because I believe that my high LDLs are directly related to taking prolia no one in my family has a history of heart attacks or high cholesterols so there has to be some sort of connection.

@jheieck On the site of Prolia itself at https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/drugs-prolia-side-effects it says: "The most common side effects of Prolia® in women being treated for osteoporosis after menopause are back pain, pain in your arms and legs, high cholesterol, muscle pain, and bladder infection." So yes, this medicine may (partly or fully) be the cause of your high cholesterol.

I know there are a few alternatives to statins to lower high cholesterol, but I haven't got a clue to how safe and effective they are. I guess it's worth talking about it with an endocrinologist.
