I’ve been on statins for two months now. Bad cholesterol has gone from 250 to 170. No side effects that I can tell. Taking Coq10 too.

Is your doctor following up with blood tests to confirm your liver counts aren't going out of whack?

For some stupid reason, my liver counts have always been just a little high. When I say "a little high" that means by a point or two.

We didn't discover that until I'd been on Lipitor for a few months. Doctor ran a blood panel to check my liver counts and saw them just a little high. Took me right off the lipitor for a few months and re-ran a liver blood panel. Same counts as when I was on the lipitor.

Ended up having a liver ultrasound which confirmed I have a fatty liver. Nothing I can do about it, it just is what it is. At least we now know why my liver counts are a little high and it's not because of the Lipitor.
