@stephend,

Thank you so much for sharing how you did your own research and became a strong advocate for your own health. This is good advice for us all. Welcome to Connect!

I have done something similar but only for one drug - a statin that the doctor wanted me to take to "help" lower my cholesterol numbers. I had to tell her that when you have neuropathy, statins make it worse since one of the side effects is causing neuropathy. Since I have small fiber peripheral neuropathy, I told the doctor I will work on lowering the numbers through diet and exercise.

John

Good for you, John. I admire your self-discipline. How is your cholesterol now, if you do not mind sharing.
