statines

A couple of years ago my always perfect cholestrol level climbed high.
Like a monkey with a lion behind it's tail.

My doc send me to the specialist, a young handsome guy with a bright smile.. who knew he was handsome.
He also knew flirting brought him everything.

Well, I was just a couple of years too old for him.
And wiser too.

He told me to eat better.. I told him the problems was caused by the diabetesmedication.
He told me I was nuts to think so, I told him I was right.

I tried the statines.
They caused such side-effects that I felt I couldn't take care of my family anymore.
One kind caused severe muscle ache,
another headaches,
etc etc.

So I ended on a wellknown expensive brand and was glad to leave the hospital and the doc behind.

Well, even those wellknown meds caused sideeffects like muscle pain, muscle weakness, and a lot more.
So I cut the prescription in half, smiled at my doc and told him life was difficult enough without the feeling of being a 90 year old.

I also told those two docs to ring me if they had real proof I would be better of with those meds.
Ofcoursethey never phoned.

Today on TV there was an item about the side-effects of those meds and the lack of real proof that a lowered cholestrol is better.

I have to go with one of the children to the doc on wednesday.... I'll smile.
