Hi Tfudtuckerpucker, nice first post. I wonder why your PCP was not more positive? Hopefully she now will come around to believing you can continue to do this assuming your blood work is still showing good numbers.
Sometimes I wonder if doctors sometimes get kickbacks for prescribing certain drugs. But I was deterred by my neighbor, who has a physical therapy practice. He said that if a patient comes to him, complaining about muscle aches, the first thing he asks is if the person is on statins. Apparently that's a major side effect for statins. From the studying I have done over the past 10 years, I am convinced that statins are much over-prescribed in the US. I should not have been prescribed, based on my Framingham score.
By the way, I'll add an into in the "Hi, I'm" section, now that I have been "forced into early retirement". That's an interesting story by itself.
