Slightly tangential to My cardiologist just but MASHdoc_SA reminded me — has the insurance landscape changed recently?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

Thanks for sharing this, MASHdoc_SA. A few questions about your My cardiologist just experience:
- What dose did you start at?
- How long before you noticed side effects improving?
- Did your provider have any specific recommendations about My cardiologist?
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on My cardiologist just.
To answer MounjBrad: my doctor and I discussed the options and went with brand.
Quick update: I have noticed more improvement since posting this. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
