[QUOTE="mcs, post: 223141, member: 12"] Along with all the other drawbacks, statins could actually increase Lp(a). From what you've stated + your labs, I don't see any reason why you would need to be on any lipid management, especially when you're fortunate enough to have thyroid & glucose levels optimized without any intervention. Suppressing your LDL any further is actually detrimental and will cause a loss of hormone production. I don't see how in the world you would be able to get PSCK9 inhibitor when you don't have any markers out of whack enough to warrant it. Maybe higher dose of fish oil and some dietary adjustment (i.e. lower carb, eliminate all grains) for such a small adjustment in your case. Otherwise, whatever you or your doc are trying to do with meds would be overkill - and as far as Lp(a), the meds you take or plan to take to reduce it, may not have any effect at all (the only meds that I have shown to be effective in reducing it are anti-sense meds). Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
