@contentandwell. I can only hope this new doctor is good for me. There's no guarantee. I have only seen him once and so far I am impressed. I'm going back in a month. Crossing my fingers. There are a couple of things that my new doctor questions me about. Wondered why they were not done with my old doctor...talk about falling through the cracks. One thing that I found interesting is that he told me some drugs work better for different races, I'm taking Crestor which was invented by Japanese, and being Asian myself, it would work better than other cholesterol med. He said Asians are more sensitive to drugs. I and my daughter who is half Asian are inclined that way.

@mayofeb2020 I’m not Asian but I too am very sensitive to many drugs. This has happened as I’ve aged.

I’m taking pravastatin, and it causes a lot of leg pain. My doctor halved my dosage but I’m still having pain. I’ve checked it online and it is less apt to cause that side-effect than other statins.

I feel like like I’m in a “catch 22” because exercise is impossible on many days but I need to take a cholesterol medication. I need to exercise too.
