Dear Ann Landers,
The cause of atherosclerosis is unadressed ldl-c levels. Saying I have high cholesterol and my doctor and I are doing nothing-nothing-is a war crime in the fight against high cholesterol.
My comment was made to invoke a response. The poster thinks its ok to not address the issue because of "statin intolerance" (and btw the same amount of patients who had statin intolerance and the amount of patients with "statin intolerance" when given a placebo were magically the same in some double blind studies). There are other drugs that are even more effective in reducing ldl-c than statins but he/she is not taking them. Why?
So I hope that the poster stops effing around and does the right thing and begins a pcsk9 inhibitor.
If your feelings were hurt grow up.
