I don’t know why anyone would blindly follow the advice of another when he knows how harmful that is to himself. Communication is vital. If your doctor is not receptive to your needs, it is time to change doctors.

I've always thought that it's best to follow your doctor's advice!

>> Farmer, a little heads up on the Lipitor. It is a statin and 2 of the side affects are muscle pains and weakness. My brother, Larry, and I both went through the same symptoms. For me last year at Portland I was nearly handicapped by these side affects. Brother Larry clued me in on his experience with these meds. I was watching a commercial on tv and when they announced the side affects as sore muscles and weakness, I immediately identified with them. I was on Crestor which is same family as Lipitor. Quit taking the meds immediately and within 2 weeks the side affects were all gone. I take Zetia for my cholesterol and numbers all good and I feel better than I have for several years. Neighbor has a good friend who is a cardiac nurse who shares opinion of statins.
