I can probably afford to splurge a little more than you. My total

me, too ;-))

Statins did awful things to me, so I don't take them - tried 3.
Even though my cholesterol is high, my HDL is good enough to put me in the
below average risk.

Thanks for your answers.

No, I do not take statins. My body does not produce a lot of
cholesterol. This is what I am guessing, because I am a meat eater.

What kind of side effects did you have from the statins? I often wonder if
I'm living with side effects I don't know about. :-)

I feel like a broken record. I'm sure there were a lot of arguments or
flaming, if you will, back about the time that - what was that gal's name
that did a lot of canning? - Pack, or something like that?

I think the consensus was that there were no side effects; imagination?

Everyone is different and I find difficulty with most medications. But let's
just put it this way: I was feeling so bad that I decided to stop taking
them. Two doctors told me -- well, it's because you stopped something else,
not statins.

There were numerous physical ailments, but what bothered me most was
neurological. I was sent for Parkinson's, ears for imbalance, and the list
goes on.

At one point a doctor put me on another statin to replace the one I was
having trouble with. Within 3 days, I had something that was what I might
call arthritis (although I've never had it), and it was so painful I felt I
couldn't move any of my joints.

This could be hours of discussion; but I would watch muscular-skeletal and
neurological.

Many people take them for years, so I wouldn't worry. They are just not for
me.

OMG, Dee, you really were affected! I think I can say at this point that
I've not experienced anything at all like that. I think what I perceive as
arthritis is the genuine thing, and not debilitating, just aggravating.

I guess you'll have to think back about when you started experiencing
arthritic pains. I know they can diagnose rheumotoid (sp?) arthritis, but I
don't know if they can 'regular arthritis.

FWIW, I've been diagnosed with having arthritis since I was 20 years old,
and have never had arthritis. In fact, as I speak (write), I don't have a
pain in any joint (except a toe I accidentally kicked today) ;-))

DH has some back problems with osteopenia, and they love to call it
arthritis, too.

So, keep a watch on your arthritic symptoms and think out of the box.

Toe kicked on large Amazon box full of Ecover (dishwasher) rinse aid and
tablets I was dragging in. DH still in bed with flu 5 days sick now. He
didn't eat for 4 days; today I made a vegetable soup and gave him broth
(1/4 cup). I don't dare go into the room except to dart in-dart out,
holding my breath.

I couldn't find Ecover rinse aid anywhere at all. Good ole Amazon -- they
had it, and Free shipping. 6 bottles of rinse-aid, 5 boxes of tablets.

I think this must be the topic of the day. First I read in some
newspaper medical column about a woman put on some cholesterol
medication and in no time she couldn't walk, imbalance, confusion.

Then in a magazine, same subject. Side effects including cognitive
impairment from taking statins.

The newspaper article involved someone saying, essentially, the
doctor blew them off about the side effects the person was experiencing.
The family took the woman off the medication and she regained her
mobility.

I definitely don't have rheumatoid arthritis. However, I do have some
joint pains that come and go, which is typical of early osteo arthritis
symptoms. It mostly affects my fingers and hands, and most often when I've
over-stressed them while working on someething.

I really don't think about it too much. On the occasions when it bothers
me, I'll pop an ibuprofen and I'm usually good to go.

No, stay out of there. You can't afford to get sick!

I'm not familiar with that product, but I've found a good combination of
Cascade granular detergent in the pre-wash cup and Lemi-Shine in the closed
main wash cup. I also use Lemi-Shine rinse-aid. Everything comes out
clean, glassware and crystal sparkle, and absolutely no spotting.

The only thing I can't use Lemi-Shine on is tin-plated steel. It instantly
rusts it completely.
