I just started to “need” atorvastatin and I’m 89. Years ago I gave up wheat, and cholesterol immediately went down. This year, in hospital with yuk Vertigo, the dietician looked at blood test and told me my cholesterol was high and now I’m on that drug.

Why no wheat? Book, “Wheat Belly” by Wm. Davis MD proved that wheat raises cholesterol. So I gave it up and never missed it after finding BFree seed bread at nearby health store. Cholesterol was fine for awhile but dietician said wheat effect doesn’t last forever, thus the new drug.

I HATE taking any pharmaceuticals, been a health nut half of my long life and my list of vitamins and OK-to-eat foods, mostly organic, would shock you. Tossed salt shaker years ago, etc etc. Weigh 112. Looking forward to warmer dryer weatheer so I can get back to long walks, so great for the heart.

I hope your experience with Atorvastatin is far better than mine was.

Here's hoping we can all have some decent weather again.
