Dr asked me if I'd consider a statin. Cholesterol levels have been moderately high for 11 years. Current test was 7.3 total, 4.8 LDL. I'm 40. Blood pressure is high too. Both common in my family. Just after thoughts. Have heard mixed ideas on usefulness. Although they seem pretty benign S/E wise.

CBs suggestion board provides a nice little history lesson of 15-20 years worth People had to really push for "Other" as a 3rd option. Velvis had to google hard to work out how to make IPB recognise 3 Then later people wanted more personalised. There were suggestions like "Lotus flower" as a gender option. Can't remember if that was ever realised It was revised again later If you view profiles of long time members, some will still have the old versions.

Lucky, I guess?

Is it OK if I play devil's advocate? Benzos are habit forming, and can lead to feeling like you need larger doses over time. I have seen first hand, patients demanding higher doses aggressively and even violently. The clinic might have a jaded history with previous patients who abused them. Which sucks, and ultimately means that it is probably not a clinic that you need in your life.

Do you take it more than once? Anxiety will do it, anxiety about heart rate will do it. On first measure, my resting is often 110-130. A few goes and some distraction like talking to someone and it comes down to lower

Someone IRL said "Good Morning" to me on a walk recently. Not over the internet, but F2F. It was horrible. I still haven't recovered. It was very distressing They weren't even walking a dog. So it's not like good morning meant "Do you want to pat my pupper? It is good if they socialize " I could understand that as a part of training for the beautiful, sentient being. But not a human
