Phoenix, AZ

My Cholesterol levels are very high (bad). Despite taking the generic form of zetia (ezetimibe) 10mg/day.
Anyone else experience this?

Be sure to take Q10 supplements (check with doc first of course) as statins long term rob your heart of Q10 which is essential to your heart healthy.

I take simvastin and never had a problem but nobody told me to take it at night and why. It does say 'take in the evening' on the label so I do.
My grandmother gave me arthritis and I believe fibro, too. She had all of the same symptoms! @A MyFibroTeam Member A
That's why I love this forum- you learn something new everyday!
Good luck to you! And God bless!

Eat plain oatmeal, stay away from dairy, red meats, beans, lentils, green leafy vegetables, but a salad with oil and vinegar is okay, no grains, you can have boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, eggs, almond milk, hummus,
sweet potatoes, stay away from sugar, eat tuna, salmon, poultry, I have to look again but these foods are for Fibromyalgia and they help a lot.

Thank you to :
@A MyFibroTeam Member
And others who responded.
I don't think high cholesterol is hereditary in my family so I don't know why it affects me.
Just one more piece of the puzzle to explain what's going on with me.
So tired of just treating symptoms.
Love and hugs everyone.
