After taking the first dose, I had "flush" over entire body, pin prickly feeling over entire body throughout the evening & night. Next three days, I itched teribly over entire body. I had muscle weakness with statins, & no success with Whelchol. I'm concerned about how to reduce my cholesterol because my mother had a stroke and 3 grandparents died from heart attacks. What kind of specialist would be able to help me? My doctor took me off of all cholesterol medication, which is a worry to me. My doctor prescribed slow-release niacin for very high cholesterol.
