the report says the by- pass is out of the Q

and the balloon and stents wouldnt work

as it concerns an inner valve

and it would be to risky

so theyve put me on a pill

medication

is funded by the gov

but there are certain pills that need special funding

out there

who care

Hey marty; best of luck

If this is one of those "Statin" anti cholesterol drugs; make sure to take CoEnzyme Q-10 supplements (100mg or more per day).

Co Q-10 is normally produced in adequate quantity by the liver; but these drugs suppress it. The result is muscle damage which can be excruciating and crippling (Hence the warning about report muscle pain or weakness to your doctor). Taking a daily supplement can at least minimize your risk of developing this side effect (left my father in law in a wheel chair till he died and nearly did the same to my wife who now has to take daily Q-10 supplements even after they discontinued the statins).

Omega-3 (fish oil) and phytosterols (cholestoff) can reduce the bad cholesterol and raise the good (remains liquid at body temp rather than waxy like the bad which deposits out) which will eventually dissolve the bad cholesterol. Make sure to take vitamin D supplement (generally you need 1000 iu or more not the 400 iu daily recommended) to help metabolize out the calcium in the plaques too.

Marty:

That is what family and friends are for - I have learned that there are two types of "family" - Real Life/Extended, and Online - When someone is in trouble or having difficulty, it is always a comfort to have those who are closest to you whether directly or indirectly know of your trouble, because they are a part of a team, and can give you support. I wish you all the best, and it sounds like your doctor knows what he is talking about - Take the advice given and run with it, and make sure to tell the doc about any changes as you take this medication :)

Take Care :)
