I was taking Pravastatin, I had mild memory loss, but my memory has slightly improved when I stopped taking it.

My cholesterol was on the upper side of normal, I’m going to go back to the doctor in a few months after taking myself off of Pravastatin and see where my cholesterol is, I’ve dropped 15 lbs. since I last took it, I think the loss of weight might be a better way of controlling cholesterol levels than taking medicine.

I don’t worry about my cholesterol levels any more. My dad’s was over 300 for decades. He didn’t do a thing about it and lived until he was 99. I do a good grade fish oil (Ultimate Omega, no fishy taste or burps) and a couple of enzymes that are supposed to keep your blood from clogging up the works.

Never heard that before about Prevastatin...I’ve been losing weight over the last two months and I am looking forward to getting off a lot of these meds myself...

Unfortunately my Glucose levels have never been under control since last year when I was first diagnosed...I am extremely concerned asd I am now back On insulin, to check my Pancreas’s failure to produce the natural insulin...It could very well be it has shut down, as of yesterday...

Not feeling to well today...About the overall picture...I went to the Podiatrist yeasterday as well, and the wound I have on the bottom of my foot, is requiring some intensive care...

I don’t know what else to do...
