    Yes.  I woul be considered in the ch ubby bear category.  I always ask every masseur if they accept all body types.  He did and he was very polite and nonjudgmental.  

    I agree with this - I’m larger and he had no issues.

    Are his pictures accurate? 

    As in is he that muscular? From what I remember, yes. He seems really serious in to bodybuilding, so if you are asking “does he have a six pack?” it is likely dependent on if he’s bulking or cutting. It’s been about a year though (and I like all muscle cut or not). 

  2. Not meant to be taken as medical advice - take any of this and consult with your doctor and/or pharmacist. I am not a physician. Also, this is all written from a US perspective, so if you’re in another country YMMV.  
     

    If the time to feeling bad is pretty quick (and is “on/off” as easy as stopping to take it, I’d consider trying other statins at low dosages to see if one works for you. It’s the best bang for your buck. There’s some evidence out there on “alternative dosing” regimens (e.g., every other day) that people believe to be better than no statin at all. 
     

    If money isn’t an issue (or your provider can get a prior authorization approved for statin intolerance), PCSK9 inhibitors are another class of drugs that can lower LDL. They’re monthly or every 2 week (self) injections - Praluent and Repatha are the brand names.
