for November 2007: Do people with EMS tend to have high cholesterol for their age, gender, etc., compared to the average population?

The Survey I am now analyzing to which 40 persons responded has an indepth question on cholesterol. I don’t have stats yet for the responses, but I can say that the range of total cholesterol ranges from a low of about 122 to a high in the mid-300s. Some persons with EMS taking statins have not achieved a good cholesterol reading, and it was not unusual to see totals of 205 and much higher even while taking statins. A fair number of persons report problems using statins such as muscle pain, elevated liver enzymes, or other reactions. A few persons have tried a lot of different statin drugs and find none that don’t give them problems. And there are people with EMS who are using statins who have good total numbers and report no adverse affects or say that they can’t tell if they have adverse affects like increased pain since they have a lot of pain, anyhow.
