There are no presents under the tree this year. My wife will go out at the last second and pick up a few things for the kids. Money is tight for us …

Thanks
I appreciate all of the great information you've given in this blog. New to blogging and am looking forward to your valuable input into my health situation.

I really hate those scare tactics and it's surprising that ads that are so misleading aren't monitored... grrrr! I'm happy to hear though that your friend is showing others that a patient's health comes first, not the physician's pocketbook. And it's no wonder, every time when we visit a doctor, any doctor, there's always one salesman there and treated so nicely. GRRR

I’m With You
wow... .people planted for something so serious. Guess their day will be in court, the dopes. While looking up things on DS, a tv commercial came on which was interesting. It didn't give the pharmaceutical name or drug. The commerical showed an ambulance, emergency room, and the 3 criteria for being there, high HDL, etc. Scare tactics arent't nice, especially since these drugs are hurting not helping. GRRR on them! Have a great day...!

Shout Out
The new doctor was really very thorough and went thru all the records without hurrying. Then he found the cholesterol readings and suggested statins. I went thru the whole thing, and he went thru his whole thing, and we left friends. I told him I really needed to get other things in order before taking any other meds, so I wouldn't be blaming any other problems on statins. The truth is I'll never go on statins again, but have to keep the peace and coat it a bit to do that. He also said I need a cat scan to make sure the calcium spots on my lungs are from TB as a baby. He looked surprised that my GP didn't tell me the results. But that's ancient history and happy that I finally have a good and caring doctor (his mom is a close friend/colleague of my neuro who is my rock). So all's well, even though we don't see eye to eye, it's a mutual respect. Statin free, that's for me is gonna be my motto *s*
