...I guess it boils down to what exactly works for each individual...
That it does. I have tried every statin on the market and all of them had the muscle & joint pain side effects. No fun in those. If you find what your son is taking I would appreciate the name. I have a doc appt next week and I’ll ask about it. Thanks.
Have you ever been told to take CoQ10 while you’re taking the Statins???? If not, you probably should have been told!
Its an old medication and most doctors don't use it any more unless the person cannot tolerate statins...His doctor is a Cardiologist. He turns 50 tomorrow and has already had a stent put in his coronary arterys. He has ony 2 instead of 4 which is the norm...they didn't know that until they did a dye test on him...
Genetically my son's got screwed. Son #1 had his first heart attack in his mid 40's and he is also diabetic. My husband died suddenly at the age of 51, had his first and last heart attack at the same time...Took no medication and looked strong as an ox. Walked out of the barn and died in the back yard...believe me doing CPR on your husband is no fun....
Because of his early death, I drummed into my kids not to negelect their health. So they keep up with everything and I think it has saved at least my 2 older son's lives.
ALL YOU MEN OUT THERE DON'T IGNORE YOUR BODY OR YOUR HEALTH. MACHO LEADS TO EARLY DEATH.
I also read of another non'statin on Web MD but I have to find that in my messy desk. I will talk to the Doctor about both medications..
Son's doctor also told him to take niacin for good cholesterol....hope this helps you......GG
PS You name has we wondering how old a teen are you...:O)
