i started with lipitor and it dropped my cholesterol by over 70 points, but like you i had no muscle
strength and a liver panel showed it was screwing up my liver.

my cardiologist finally switched me to Crestor (Rosuvastatin) and my cholesterol dropped almost
as low as the lipitor with no muscle problems and a deccent liver panel.

zetia is another drug that is excellent. if prevents the cholesterol from being reabsorbed in the
colon and does not affect the liver which is the cause of the muscle weakness or pain.

i don't know if co-q-10 does any good, but it's so damn cheap, it doesn't matter.

i had a heart attack in the early 8o's and found a top notch cardiologist and i had a 4 way by pass
6 or 7 years ago. he has given me all that extra time and i'm till cooking

if you are getting your advice from a gp, find the best board certified cardiologist and listen to him.

if you need a stress test with a radioactive tracer, they don't us a treadmill any more, it can be
done pharmocologically.
