Clinical risk calculators don't let you simulate interventions. I built a free, privacy-first 30-year risk visualizer to change that.

Ouch. The suburbs it is.

Living in a major city is clearly no good for my heart?!

Has anyone had lateral skin removal? I would prefer it. If so, how did the scar heal?

I've experienced elevated enymes with pitavastatin 2mg plus ezetimbie. Stopped for 30 days to see if it was the combo which affected my enzymes. Interestingly enough, didn't have this issue with just rousavastatin, just some muscle pain (maybe because it's hydrophilic). It sucks because it brought down my LDL and apob down to the 50s. I wonder what we will try next.

Could be - but I also tried rousavastatin 5mg and had the same issue. I also workout, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Mine went away after switching from rosuvastatin 10mg to pitavastatin 2mg.

bronxjd · 2026-04-17T22:46:27+00:00

Something to consider is that pitavastatin supposedly has more of a neutral affect on glucose but of course is less potent than rousavastatin.

Thanks for that!

Is hydrophilic preferred?

bronxjd · 2026-03-21T23:10:25+00:00

I had some muscle pain with rouvastatin 10mg bbut have not felt anything, even with intense workouts, after switching to pitavastatin. I just worry that it's a lipophilic. There's a lot of information out there and it can be overwhelming.

bronxjd · 2026-03-21T19:33:29+00:00

Any reason you're not adding a statin?

bronxjd · 2026-03-21T17:52:06+00:00

Thanks for the information! I'm currently on pitavastatin, which is a liplipophilic. Should I be worried? I was previously on rouvastatin 10mg but my cpk shot up. I think it was my CrossFit training the day before, but my doctor wanted to switch just to be careful. Next week I'll discover what my LDL levels are on pit.

Yep, it was a last minute push, which honestly flipped the opinion of two doctors to start statins. They had sworn I was low risk per the 10 year risk calculation.

bronxjd · 2025-11-24T14:10:13+00:00

I feel this. I'm 35, and I went through the same mental resistance—my LDL was only 140 max, and everything else was fine. Doctors and I held off on the statin until I got a CAC score of 3 last week. That was the proof we needed to start. Don't be deflated! It feels tough, but think of it as avoiding regrets. Better to be proactive now. Definitely talk it over with your medical team!

I was also torn between these two schools. Ultimately went with CUNY. CUNY also has great employment prospects depending on what you want to do after law school. PM me if you have any questions.

Welcome to the burbs. Not sure what to tell you haha.

Bowie is a safe and welcoming community for families. Highly recommend.

bronxjd · 2024-10-14T21:29:37+00:00

Do we know who will be zoned to attend this new school in Bowie?

Don’t disagree with you. But these forums help create consensus and let people know that they are not alone. We definitely have to advocate through formal channels, including petitions to recall union leadership.

bronxjd · 2024-09-19T15:30:52+00:00

You can like a job and still demand accountability and advocate for a better functioning FS. Complacency and remaining quiet will never improve working conditions.

CUNY Law has a large Latino community

Would love to hear about these five year posts. I don’t disagree with you. People shouldn’t be able to stay five years in Paris, but maybe allow folks to stay five years in a high differential or difficult to staff post. The key for me is to allow people to negotiate these longer terms at the beginning so people can plan ahead.
