: : : : : : Hello, Try excercise along with time released niacin, red yeast rice, apple cider vin, A, B, C, E, soya...etc. Jay
: : : : : I have always exercised by walking briskly for an hr. 4 times a week. Of course when I was so sick for 3 months, that came to a sudden halt, as I had no energy. Last week I started for 1/2 hr. twice a week till I build up. Also started taking applecider vinegar. 1 tsp. daily mixed in water. I take a multi vitamin, 500 mg. of vitamin C, 500 mg. of Calcium in the a.m. and 500 mg. of vitamin E after dinner. Have yet to start on the other stuff, like soy and yeast. I thought taking niacin with Statins was a no-no? Also want to look into this CoQ 10 stuff. We are really trying here, trust me, and I do appreciate all input!
: : : : You’re correct JJ. Do not take Niacin if you’re on Baycol or any other type of statin medication.
: : : Thanx. I thought I seen that posted. Have enough problems, don't want to create anymore.
: : You might be thinking of not taking Red Yeaset Rice with Statin - so my answer is: stop taking statins, it will not kill you and start the other approach, etc, so on...Jay
: I really want to talk with the dr. in 3 weeks. He is new to me, only 3 visits, and I don't want him to think I am very hard to get along with. Want to see what my numbers are and then have a hearty chat with him. He seems like a reasonable guy, so he might just work with me on this. Only got 3 more weeks to go, so will take it from there.
It's always a good idea to at least try to work with your dr. I, with the drs. blessing, tried the Niacin treatment, but he warned again using the time-release as it can cause alot of liver damage. Also, my cholesterol numbers went UP while on Niacin. I, too, exercise almost every day for at least 40-45 min. Also, the red yeast rice contains the same ingredient as Mevacor which is also a statin, so it's best not to mix the stains with that method of treatment to avoid liver damage. Good Luck on your tests in 3 weeks. We're all in this together and somewhere there is an answer for each of us.
