if you had trouble with 2 statins you are CRAZY to try another. Play with fire and you may end up with semi functioning legs like mine.

They are semi functioning from statins?

Yeah, no convo re: cause of high cholesterol other than it is made by the liver, etc. My T3 was normal. What's rT3?

The muscle weakness can become permanent.

It's funny how he says it is genetic then tells you to cut down on the fat. Make up your mind, doc.

I could have told you no mainstream doctor is going to prescribe T3 for high cholesterol.

'T3 normal' does not mean that T3 is transported into the cells where it's needed.

rT3 is an isomer of the T3 molecule. It prevents T3 getting into your cells and it prevents the clearance of LDL from your liver.
