Bob, I read all of the small print whether a medication has been prescribed or bought over the counter. Always have, but then I'm the child who always read sauce bottle labels too. It's a habit. |

My doc (newly qualified and very young) years ago, said my cholesterol level was 'high', and suggested statins. 'How 'high' was my response. |

I had the same doctor for 28 years until he sadly died in 2013. My cholesterol level never went above 4.2 in the blood tests I had during those years. He never ever mentioned statins to me. |

if I don't take statins I keep thinking I'm having heart attacks - crippling pains in my chest - that's how it was discovered that my cholesterol was in double figures - well to begin with, 9.5, and when my GP suggested statins, I said, no, I eat the wrong things, I'll get it down - so I cut out cream, cakes, biscuits, crisps etc and went back a month later - it had gone up to over 11 - so statins it is and my reading is about 4.5 - it's familial he said - one or both of your parents must have had it |

Politicians will always grab at whatever looks like a silver bullet to health problems even with the scantiest of evidence. They usually have some medical researchers / doctors to back them up. |

Sylvia, due to medical problems, my doctor was sure I should be anaemic. |

I read somewhere recently (can´t remember where) that taking statins only adds 4 days to the patient´s life. :-0 :-0 |

Recent research has suggested that one of the reasons that the French do not have high cholesterol levels despite the high amounts of cream etc that they eat, is due to the concurrent consumption of red wine, though not to excess |
