>>My last blood test showed a cholesterol level of 282 but she is not concerned because my HDL level was 192 and my LDL was 80 <vbg>. She said she has never seen anything like it....
Sounds positive. Reality is that not everybody benefits from statins and that (as always) there will be a point where cost/side effect exceeds benefit- something it's not easy to predict until people have been taking the treatment for a while.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
