Is Any One Else Cholesterol Is High?. But Not Getting Medicine For It. If So What Are You Taking?
Yes I had high cholesterol, 8,5. Got simvastatine but I felt really bad on that medicine. All my joints were hurting. Now I am on rosuvastatine 10 mg and ezetimibe 5 mg and my numbers are okay!
Weight Gain
I have gained ALOT of weight in the past year. I’m the heaviest I have ever been and I hate the way I look. Has anyone experienced weight gain? 😔

Do You Often Feel Like You Are Fighting A Bug And Starting To Get Sick?
My Doctor said this feeling is due to not enough protein. At 5’7 and 170 lbs , I consume about 80 grams of protein a day. Organic chicken has Cysteine which

Anybody Else Have UTIs With Their PBC
Never had one before in my life. Two month's after starting Ursodiol I started having to pee more. A lot more! Was tested by my PM and I have been told I have a UTI.
