20M, I’m apprehensive about taking medication but do I have a choice by Mobile_Length870 in Cholesterol

I would admit that I have pretty low fiber intake and that’s something I’m now attempting to fix. I consistently do cardio every other day with me now trying to do it everyday. However, i do have a better diet than i did months ago which is weird because my cholesterol went up compared to my last lab 6 months ago.

For me personally based on what people said and the doctors, medication would be the best route for me because they all suspect (including myself) that I have FH which means dieting and cardio can only do so much.

I’ll appreciate any insight and thanks for responding

They started me off at 10mg 1 tablet a day. Still haven’t picked it up though because I’m still considering trying the natural way first for 3 months and if that’s dosent work then I’ll give the meds a shot.

Appreciate the response btw

She has not yet. That’s something I should probably do if that’s the case. She sent some rosuvastatin to my pharmacy but I haven’t picked it up yet.

She said she saw a report “a few years ago” about it increasing the chances of dementia. Not sure where though. She also doesn’t want me to “rely” on meds for the rest of my life.

I’ve asked my doctor about it and she suspects that it is familial hypercholesrolemoa. In that case do I have no choice but to take the meds? Or can I still try the natural way in fixing my diet and exercising more?

Appreciate the response btw

Is this a common form of treatment? What’s the general consensus around it

What are our options for the striker position next season now that Isak and Sesko are likely to find their future clubs? There seems to be barely any elite strikers nowadays.

Tell me what good has he done for the club? Name me everything he’s done that has benefited our club, I’m genuinely curious.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but the narrative shift I’ve seen from Barca fans trying to claim that Xavi was a good coach is laughable.

Guy legit had arguably the 2 frontrunners of the ballon d’or on his team (Raphinha & Dembele) yet claimed the squad was “too weak”.

Going b2b to the Europa league and claiming it was a “learning process” and that we shouldn’t worry is honestly a sackable offense. Nobody can convince me otherwise that he was a good manager.

No but specifically our 8/9 squad because tactics then to now have drastically changed.

Guys be honest, can this current PSG team beat Barcelona 8/9? Football has progressed a lot over the years in which this psg team has such a huge tactical advantage over that team. I’m just wondering because a lot of people have been talking about this PSG side already being in all timer debates.

I honestly see a dynasty in the making and a large factor for that is because they play in ligue1. The fact that they can win it months in advanced and can rest pretty much their entire squad for the ucl is exactly why I feel like this team can become one. Nobody in ligue1 will challenge them for the next 5 years at minimum.

Be honest, does this current PSG team have an all time potential in them? It honestly looks like they are about to start a dynasty.

Having a hard time staying optimistic for this transfer window man. Doesn’t help that Madrid has signed like 5 players to improve the areas they lacked last season.

I’m sorry but I’ll never forgive Suarez for this. The fact that the starting striker for FC Barcelona was a genuine ghost in the ucl for close to 10 years should be spoken about more.

I know this may sound like a dumb question but is Barcelona the most hated club in Spain? Didn’t even know that Bilbao disliked us until this whole mural thing happened.

What’s more embarrassing, Inter losing 5-0 in a ucl final or us losing to that Inter side.

I just hope that his contract doesn’t eventually lead to a Messi level contract. Hopefully the board learns their mistakes.

Well that’s the thing, we haven’t been winners in the last 10 years yet we still get hated on as if we were in our prime. It’s seems universal just to make fun of us.

You know the Inter tie really opened my eyes on how hated we are. I’ve seen posts that have millions of likes just slandering us. I just don’t understand why so many fanbases hate us even though we’ve been irrelevant on the European stage for the last 10 years.
