I am looking for recommendations for a chiropractor and acupuncture. It doesn't have to be a one stop shop, but looking for a place that does good work. The body ain't getting younger and pickleball has the body hurting. Thanks in advanced!

Been on Atorvastitin for years and years. No side effects. Had a stroke so take care of your Cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea, Diabetes and one more thing which I can't remember to help avoid strokes.

[QUOTE=DeeJohn808;6506751]Anyone have hands on experience with statins? Any side effects? My LDL cholesterol is high (Tris and HDL are fine) and I've brought it down 22 points naturally over the last 4 months, but its still in the 130's and I'd like to get it down to around 100. Current natural pace would take until early next year to do so. I'm thinking of getting stantins to speed up the decrease, but worried about side effects. I'd like to hear if any mongers have tried it themselves and if so what were the results.[/QUOTE]

See PCP and get labs done regularly; stress may be one irrefutable factor but hard for avoid; use the wisdom and ask questions. Good luck to all.

I had all the signs, I just did not listen to them until that faithful day. Luckily part of our coaching staff were ER Nurses and a parent of our players was a Critical Care and ICU nurse for years, she recognized my issues right on the court while coaching our match. Next thing I remember was I was on the Gym Floor, looking up at people. They gave me the care I needed, spent a few weeks in the Hospital, then it took me 2-3 years to recover. Changed my habits, cared for my stress better, ate very healthy bc my 2 older daughters were Vegetarians so I went that route and lost the needed weight, and changed my workout towards that mentality. It was tough, I needed to relearn to walk, talk, and even think just like a baby. Yeah, it was scary, my Dr. Who was my classmate gave me a shot between the eyes, changing or not being alive in 2-3 years because of bad health and decisions. Fear of death, not being around for your kids and ohana, and as Dad said, your kid should not pass before your parents. If that does not scare you, then I do not know what will? My good friend passed last year from his stroke, similar lifestyle, but he was single, lived alone, big Vegas braddah, sad because they found him because of a wellness check, 4 days later bc he did not report for work. Again, one less for our Super Bowl Vegas trip. Take care braddahs, you never know. OH BTW, I am one of those who intakes various teas and juices (I make and juice my own everything) containing Shilajit, Different Mushrooms, and herbs including Turmeric and peppers. It helps. LOL, Be safe gang.

[QUOTE=Seeker963;6717788]Diamond head doesn't test for everything. It's obvious that BB anything has its risks. But has anyone ever got anything with HE?

I've always assumed that it was low / no risk, but I'm not sure if this is true.[/QUOTE]At a minimum, one can catch Chlamydia from a BBBJ. I know. It's easily treatable.

Hey Mongers,

Beware. Not paranoid, just careful.

The scary part is strokes can come on with no signs. I had no signs. The worse part is the doctors said I had Bell's Palsy. Spent some time and a lot later was diagnosed as stroke. Even told the them my right side was numb and felt funny and all that. Fuck up this kind.

Ck813,

Glad you got it figured out, hopefully no long term consequences. Bell's palsy symptoms usually only facial might have some slurred speech related to the facial paralysis but other than face no much else muscle involvement. Stroke usually if face is unequal, that muscle paralysis usually comes with same side limb involvement, can be arm or leg or both. But also seen stroke with no paralysis of any kine, but with person saying one or two sentences repeatedly or saying sentences that make no sense.

Take care.

Stay safe,

LS.
