My aunt was a charge nurse at a hospital in Michigan. I chatted with her last night and she said that I should get off Lipitor right away and take fish oil & garlic supplements.

I took myself off Crestor a long time ago due to the dangers of taking statins.

I agree with Umpa and TooSweet. Talk to your doctor.
There is something going on that doesn't look right.

I'll say an extra prayer for you.

Bad advice,you are on lipitor for a reason.You need to find out whats going on with you.I am a Herbalist and I can tell you garlic and Omegas are not a replacement for lipitor

I agree about the garlic & omega 3. I already get plenty of that in the way I eat. It's awful that doctors put people on statins just because their numbers "look" high. Basically the only high things were my LDLs and HDLs. There are studies that suggest that in women after certain age are not at risk with high LDLs. I need to find those sites again, I think one was on webMD and another medical site & more.

You're right, Susie.
It's sad that doctors immediately resort to statin drugs when cholesterol numbers are out of whack.
They should be on the hunt for the cause of those numbers.

The problem is statins only treat the cholesterol symptoms, but not the cause.
And as you know, statins can cause other problems themselves.

I pray your doctor figures out what's wrong or refers you to someone who can.

My doctor got my case about how low my chest hangs, excuse me, I breast fed 2 babies (at age 21 and age 39) and I'm not 20 years old, lol. Talk about making a patient feel bad about their body. I know she did not need to harm my feelings, which she didn't because at that moment I thought she was joking. Apparently she wasn't, oh well. She did praise me for my dedication and good work on my weight.

Absolutely speechless in regards to your doctor and your chest - I mean -what the he##'.  What has that got to do with anything? You didn't go and do it on purpose. We aren't all perky 20 year olds.

I think I would have to find a new doctor

Oh my goodness!!  Not very professional if you ask me     Who does she think she is??

Good Lord, Susie!

What the heck is wrong with your doctor?
Sounds like she has the bedside manor of Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street.

I agree with Umpa!
You need a doctor that understands that our emotional health effects our physical health.
