PLEASE VOTE NOW

We keep having posts about statins so I am trying to create a faux poll. Please could you vote only once to try and keep things accurate. Thank you...

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

Which of the following applies to you? Vote by liking...

I take Atorvastatin with no side effects but cannot like what I have written.

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to MichaelJH]

I have never taken a statin.

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to MichaelJH]

I take a statin with no side effects.

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to MichaelJH]

I take a statin and have minimal side effects.

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to MichaelJH]

I take a statin but have unacceptable side effects.

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to MichaelJH]

I stopped taking statins because of side effects.

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to MichaelJH]

I was put on alternative cholesterol lowering medication because of side effects. These include:

other tablets – such as Ezetimibe, fibrates, bile acid sequestrants (also called resins) and Bempedoic acid

injections – such as PCSK9 Inhibitors (like Alirocumab and Evolocumab) and the new Inclisiran one.

Good luck Michael will be interesting to see results from normal heart related people rather than Google misinformation

Has this been cleared with BHF?

[gilreid1 in reply to SheldonC]

🤦‍♂️🙇🏼‍♂️😢

[SheldonC in reply to gilreid1]

Was a joke.

Pretty meaningless sample size though so a waste of time imo.

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

No I mean other treatments apart from statins which include:

other tablets – such as Ezetimibe, fibrates, bile acid sequestrants (also called resins) and Bempedoic acid

injections – such as PCSK9 Inhibitors (like Alirocumab and Evolocumab) and the new Inclisiran one.

I very quickly developed a 'deranged liver' on 80 mg of Atorvastatin & was changed to a low dose of Pravastatin which has had no ill effects.

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to 45sue]

You need to vote for "I take a statin with no side effets" then. Many of us have hanges of statin and/or dosage. It would be over complicated to onsider the past.
