So we have recieved more bad news from our doctor with a change of medications which, as it turns out, hosts a long list of dangerous side effects.
Our 3 monthly blood tests for diabetes and cholesterol etc came back showing a rapid rise in our sugars and cholesterol.
Our doctor is not pleased that we have stopped taking our statins, agreeing that the brain needs the cholesterol but saying with our chronic heart disease and failure that we should take them as the benefits far out the risks... and she wasn't swayed that both of our mothers died of alzheimers.
So I am sitting here praying and reflecting on what to do and we have decided to resume taking our previous medications that came with less side effects.
I am not happy that she changed our medications without informing us that they come with a host of possible dangers... as I said a few years ago, sometimes you have to be your own doctor.
