Liz, don't expect your doc to support you in going off of Statins. If you have been taking them and don't notice any such side effects for awhile, then you might want to stick with them. I'll have to check to see if they really have been proven to prevent strokes. I'm not sure....Actually, other factors besides just cholesterol level lead to heart attacks and strokes. I might just be a nervous Nellie about them and will keel over with a circulatory issue tomorrow....

Hey, I am eating oatmeal most every morning now!
