Odd question: does anyone out there need some pravastatin? I'm not sure what's going on with my prescription, they've sent me FAR more than I need (I got a 3 month supply last month, and another 3 month supply... this month?) and I don't want these to go bad.

No charge, let me know if you're short on your regular prescription and I'll mail them to you (US only). I know it might be hard for some folks to make it to a pharmacy or doctor safely right now.

EDIT please feel free to boost this, I am not afraid of mailing medication to people.

For me? The worst part about #aging is all of the #pills they want you to take.

Get a #statin for the #cholesterol
Beta blocker for your heart.
Stomach.
etc.

Sometimes it's more, and you forget. And you're all whacked out, and didn't mean to be.

That's the worst part about it for me.
Having used substances separately and together, recreationally, I find it difficult to tell if I'm "high". Sometimes.
Recreational stupidity.
I'm not proud of that, i promise you.

It's a dangerous place to be.
Fur eel. (Sorry Miss Jackson)

Take a puff, sip a coffee-- who knows what will set it off? well. okay. but.
I swear, I was completely normal 2 seconds ago!

So. I guess that's my cue.
Move along son. Nothing to see here

#GHG: Relevante Evidenz bleibt außen vor 💔

Stellungnahme des IQWiG zum Referentenentwurf für Gesundes-Herz-Gesetz veröffentlicht

Knackpunkte aus unserer Sicht:

* #Statin-Verordnungspläne fußen auf veralteter Evidenz

* Evaluation / Evidenzgenerierung nach Einführung unklar

* Aktualisierungsmodus bei neuer Evidenz ebenfalls offen

Too many adults suffer strokes
But won't take statins for their folks
Blinded by group fear
They fail to look near
And end up facing even bigger woes

In my case at least, "muscle soreness" really downplays the potential #statin side effect. On Wednesday, I could barely walk.

Suffice to say, Wednesday was my last dose.

But, I'm still in pain!
