Sally Creed – I must look her up. The thing is, Barbara, I know what to eat. It is just that I was slack and went my own way, not eating meals and devouring cream and chocolate instead!
As I said, I am now eating three meals a day!

Tams, I can’t believe you are on statins and suffering the same way I was. As soon as you get back from Australia, you must see your doctor and STOP!!! I am so glad you read my blog!!!
Love you so much!

Yep, taking Statins was not good for me, Sarah. I had never been on them before and had no knowledge of their effect.
What you wrote about the reading of my blogs makes my heart sing!

I began to research and question and discovered that new research shows a very different picture. I have Sally-Anne Creed’s book. She is the most trust worthy dietician that there is.

I also have developed a nasty cough, which has often left me in tricky situations. I thought it was due to all the years of smoking that had taken their toll on me. After my fall down the stairs I was forbidden to smoke ever again, as you know! And so I couldn’t understand why the cough persisted in my new smokeless world. I thought it was due to all the toxins finding their way out of my system. But here we are – two and a half years later and I STILL cough. Particularly when I am laughing or talking loudly and when I lay down flat in bed. Today for the first time, you have given me the answer!! You see, when I had the fall, they discovered that my heart was not too good and I went on to a myriad of medications for it. One of which was a STATIN!! I had never been on a statin before in my life and now I’ve read your story, I shall make an appointment with the Quack and tell her that my friend, Dr Gaynor, along with her partner, Dr Google have diagnosed my problem! If I promise to eat properly and my cholesterol is down to a good 5, I’m going to ask her if I can come off it, I’ve never liked the damn statins; they make my mouth so dry. And if they can make a mouth dry, they can obviously make the throat dry and bring on those coughs we both suffer from. What a luck that I read your blog every time it comes out! Thank you so much Sending lots of love – Tams

Porridge is simply the best for lowering cholesterol. I love reading your blog Gaynor, thank you for sharing your stories x
