Oh, sorry. For me, the main issue is avoiding meds if I can improve diet and exercise instead.

But statins can cause muscle pain, sometimes (very rarely) muscle damage. I have spinal arthritis that triggers a lot of neuromuscular crap in my legs, and the last thing I want to do is add more muscle pain.

But mainly, I’d rather address underlying problems rather than trying to smother them with meds, if that makes any sense. So when threatened with metformin for pre-diabetes, I just beat my blood sugar levels down instead. (Many can’t do this; I was lucky.)

My childhood was very much without doctors intervention. Mom was an rn, dad was was a pharm. Dr's only became involved when absolutely necessary. I put alot of faith in my general physician, and his recommendation mainly because he treated my mom and dad as well, and their confidence in him

He’s way ahead of me, but I will say that I was already an olive oil junkie. Some avocado oil, and some (by golly) butter. Less and less red meat, about even on chicken, more fish, and a ridiculous amount of veggies. I don’t eat sugar or drink anything sweetened, period (easy for me, no sweet tooth.) Pretty much everything is home-cooked from scratch, no fast food, no processed foods, minimal canned/ bagged/ boxed food.

Due to the spinal arthritis, exercise is tricky, but he inspired me to get the fitness watch/ fax/ air fryer thingy, and as a result I’m way more active than before. Who knows, maybe the weight loss will start again one day.

I might eat one of those a year. I take pravastatin. Lowest dosage and I can still eat grapefruit and drink grapefruit juice. GVG and I are arguing where to put the greenhouse. Oranges, grapefruit and 4 key lime trees!

Lord, I would KILL for a greenhouse. Even a 6x8. Ok, an 8x10. Plus a spot to put it without 100-year-old trees casting shade.
