I’ve been on statins for two months now. Bad cholesterol has gone from 250 to 170. No side effects that I can tell. Taking Coq10 too.
For some stupid reason, my liver counts have always been just a little high. When I say "a little high" that means by a point or two.
We didn't discover that until I'd been on Lipitor for a few months. Doctor ran a blood panel to check my liver counts and saw them just a little high. Took me right off the lipitor for a few months and re-ran a liver blood panel. Same counts as when I was on the lipitor.
Ended up having a liver ultrasound which confirmed I have a fatty liver. Nothing I can do about it, it just is what it is. At least we now know why my liver counts are a little high and it's not because of the Lipitor.
