Whatis a statin?

Lipitor, lovastatin, and a host of others are used to control cholesterol. Although they have many benefits they also carry some very mean side effects for some users and have to watched carefully.

I was on Lipitor and it was keeping my cholesterol down, but it was also screwing up my liver enzymes. Once I went off it, my liver enzymes went back to normal.

Hey Structured it is me, some 15 years later. I go under the handle nogara now and not Structured-Chaos.

In any event, if this post could actually go back in time, I would tell you, me, that you will suffer from events of global transient amnesia, whereupon, when you stop taking the statin you will be okay again. So, my advice is to stop taking the medication now.

Also, the reason I found my old self here was because I was researching my past posts trying to find a common theme to explain current events in 2021. Crazy. Word ... buy stock in amazon and twitter and google... that should be enough. Word .. learn to speak Chinese.
Word ... Crazy Joe Biden may be your president.

To any who happen to come across this crazy post, I have no explanation. But I do correct the record regarding statins at least as far as I am concerned.
