[QUOTE="Droff, post: 3847663, member: 26615"] An update to kind of close this loop as I talked with my cardiologist today. - My LDL (109) is too high, 100 is acceptable but really needs to be under 70 at this point. - My HDL (41) is too low, needs to be closer to 60. - Regarding side effects, it sounds like muscle/joint pain is more likely (maybe 15-20% chance) than liver damage. - I'll be getting liver enzymes tested to check if there is a problem. - If muscle/joint pain is an issue, I can get the doseage lowered or switch to another statin. At this point, looks like I'll start the Lipitor and see how it goes. Thanks for all the inputs. [/QUOTE]
