I am SO tired of getting yelled at because I won't take a statin. My HDL is always between 64 and 74! -- --Jenny http://www.geocities.com/lottadata4u/ Type 2 Diabetes info http://www.geocities.com/jenny_the_bean/ Low Carb info |

Last thing I need before surgery is something that makes me less able to clot! Don't forget, there are two kinds of strokes--one from clots, the other from inability to clot the tiny bleeds. These drug companies keep trying to come up with more reasons to prescribe the statins as the research backing up their original claims fails to hold up on long term study. --Jenny http://www.geocities.com/lottadata4u/ Type 2 Diabetes info http://www.geocities.com/jenny_the_bean/ Low Carb info |
