Hi everyone. I posted a week or so ago about my bloodwork and my ultra low vitamin D level.
Started weekly doses of prescription vitamin D, it says 1.5 mg. Doctor also ordered 80 miligrams of Pravachol, everyday, I picked it up but haven't taken it yet, been reading too many bad things about statins. I surely don't need more muscle pain and fatigue. I really don't know what to do, I have a fear of medications anyhow and this doesn't sit well with me. I took the vitamin d and I'm sitting here looking at the bottle of pravachol. Any information? What would you do? I'm such a big baby when it comes to meds, I don't know how I got thru chemo (lol).
Hugs to all
