It must of been my doctor. I told him I was allergic to statins, what else can I take. He said, take the supplement red yeast rice, which I did for a month until I got a reaction. When I checked it out, RYR is a blend of 5 statins. I know it's not a joking matter, but neither is doctors who don't know what they're doing. My first doctor at Mulberry VA said, why are you still taking Plavix 5 years after getting a stent, he said after 18 months you can stop. Three weeks later I had chest pains, after a quick trip to the VA Hospital in Gainesville we learned there are two kinds of stents, chemical and metal. He was correct for metal stents, however mine was a chemical stent which requires Plavix for life.
