You'll be pleased to hear that I have all this data on a spreadsheet. I had 3 stents in July, 2021. Here's the data.
Nov 2020 - LDL is 96
Dec 2020 - Cardiac calcium test, score is 21
Jan 2021 - Started 5 MG Rosuvastatin
Feb 2021 - LDL is 75
Apr 2021 - Stopped Rosuvastatin
Jun 2021 - LDL is 87
Jul 2021 - 3 stents, started 40 MG Rosuvastatin
Sep 2021 - LDL is 37 ALT and AST liver enzymes climbing
Nov 2021 - Changed to 20 MG Rosuvastatin due to high ALT and AST
Late Nov 2021 - LDL is 35 ALT and AST decreased a bit
Jan 2022 - ALT and AST increasing to dangerous levels
Feb 2022 - Stopped taking Rosuvastatin
Late Feb 2022 - LDL is now 81
Mar 2022 - Start taking Praluent to reduce LDL
Jun 2022 - LDL is 41 ALT and AST are back to normal low levels
Dec 2022 - LDL is 36
Feb 2023 - LDL is 37
Mar 2024 - LDL is 40
It's pretty interesting how my LDL and AST - ALT liver enzymes bounced around. Turns out Praluent works pretty well for me. Not cheap but the price of liver problems is too high to ignore.
Interesting Side Story: About 11 weeks after stopping Rosuvastatin I was hiking in the nearby hills and noticed that my thinking processes seemed more defined. For lack of a better description my thinking seemed to be sharper. I wasn't looking for it, I just happened to notice it. For the next few days I paid close attention to my thinking abilities. They were definitely sharper. No question. I looked into it and discovered that "mental fuzziness" is known side effect of statins. It doesn't happen to everyone but it definitely happened to me. The thing that struck me about this is that I didn't notice it while it was happening. I only noticed it when my mental processes got back to normal. (Or at least what's normal for me!) If I hadn't had the liver enzyme problem I could have spent the rest of my life being somewhat less sharp than I used to be and never realized it. That's pretty scary.
