Carl- cholesterol--Re: Coffee

[Guest guest]

Carl,

I flat refused to take the statins after I was on them for one week and

developed extreme weakness and pain in my legs caused by the medication. My

doctor told me to take red yeast rice or omega 3 for high cholesterol. I have

not had my blood work done to see how well it works but I will try to remember

to let you know when I get my numbers.
