I agree Dan. I don't believe in Zombies but yet I was becoming one... I
won't let that happen again.

Below are my awful numbers that prompted someone at my cardiologist office
to decide that I needed immediately to jump from 20 mg of Lipitor to 80 mg.
The top set of numbers is what my test said about June of 2014 after being
on 20 mg. The lower set is what they were in October 2014 after being on
the 80 mg for the summer. Right now I am taking 20 mg a day again after a
couple of weeks of nothing. He wants me to bump it to 40 mg soon but I'm
staying on 20 mg until my next blood-work in April.

These numbers are a copy & paste so I don't know how they will format...

What happens next depends on whether or not any side effects return or not.
I still need to chat further with my GP as to why I am still seeing a
specialist. I want to hear "end dates", not "forever for the rest of your
life"...
