I just came back from my new nurse practioner PC. I like her, she doesn’t like pharmaceuticals the same as me. And she thinks a lot of medical care is all about the $$$. I have cholesterol of 352, has been that way for years, but every time I took a statin I could barely walk. I told her that this has been a big thing just since the pharmaceuticals came out with drugs. She indicated it can have mental effects too. First I heard of that, but that could explain a few things.
My Moms cholesterol was high like that for a very long time.
It never caused any issue for her, either.
Mine was 210 last time I had it checked-my annual exam is coming up in May, so blood tests will be done again then.
He said my “good cholesterol” was up too, so wasn’t worried.
Your NP said cholesterol meds could cause mental effects?
Did she say what meds or why? Just curious.
