Just a quick note to say hi! I dropped by after reading tonight you support for a person worried about getting an agiogram - you said you had 15, this made me stop by to see your profile. Well Flycaster caught my interest too but I think we touched bases on that issue a year or two back. I took Lipator for years than shifted to Simvastatin generic for a lot less $$$ and the same apparent results. My cholesterol numbers are so good some are out-of-range on the "good scale". I have no known side effects from these drugs.

Hey there! I went to your profile page after getting your response to my question about ejection fraction issues. I was interested to hear your comments about statins. I'm 50, and have been diagnosed with "high-ish" cholesterol -- my LDL ranges between 115 to 140, and my HDL is very high (from from 75 to 82, depending on the year). I have low triglicerides (always in the 50s) and also a very low CRP (0.12). I've been pondering going on statins for the past 5 years (I even tried Lipitor for a week or so but had some side effects) but have avoided doing so so far. No heart issues with my parents. My cardiac calcium score in 2010 was 28. I'd love to get your opinion on this, as your argument for going on statins was compelling, to say the least!
