One Week to Go on Experiment of Meds

Next week I have another blood test to see what the results will be after two months without my statin - Atorvastatin!  I have been on Lipitor, and the generic Atorvastatin for over ten years, and my liver results on my latest blood test were high:


Hepatic Function Panel       Your Value  Reference Range  Units       Flag
Protein Total Serum               6.9               5.6-7.9                 g/dL         None
Albumin                                 4.5               3.5-4.9                 g/L           None
Bilirubin Total >21 Days       0.9               0.2-1.2                 mg/L        None
Bilirubin Direct                      0.2               0.0-0.2                 mg/L        None
Alkaline Phosphatase            67                 34-104                 U/L          None
AST (SGOT)                        67                 13-40                   U/L          High
AST (SGPT)                         122               7-52                     U/L          High
Gamma GT                           49                 9-64                     U/L          None

Notice the AST (SGOT) & AST SGPT) results are on the high side!  So the past two months no Astorvastatin!

As I have mentioned earlier, one thing I have noticed is my legs feel great!  During exercise & normal daily routine, the legs feel great!!
