[QUOTE="sbstrum_MD, post: 257025, member: 17682"] For 40 years I have monitored serum testosterone using DPC equipment which is of high quality. I monitor my patients lipid status with a test that quantifies lipid fractions such as small LDL and large HDL as well as insulin resistance. Therefore, many of my patients wtih prostate cancer are on statins. Always use CoQ10 prior to initiating a statin. A dose of 300 mg/d is sufficient for most patients but if high dose of statins do not hesitate to go higher to 400 mg/d to prevent muscle cramps. Also, when starting a statin it is a must to check creatine kinase (CK) and LFTs (liver function tests) about 10-14 days after starting or ↑ the dose. It sounds like no one monitored you closely or treated you up-front with CoQ10. Let me know. The file I attached in my prior email did not show a major drop in testosterone 2° statin treatment. The T not responding is bizarre. If you were carefully documented with baseline studies, your medical story justifies a case report in the peer-reviewed literature. [/QUOTE]
