Statins causing muscle and joint pain.

should I start interferon?
I’d be grateful for any advice or guidance on starting Interferon for ET CalR mutation. I was diagnosed with ET approximately 12 years ago when I was 57. I took Hydroxycarbamide in increasing doses over an approximate 6 year period when the efficacy of the drug began to wane. I was then prescribed

Running with angina
prior to contracting Covid in April 23 I was very fit and regularly ran up mountains and 2/3 hour runs was my usual at least once a week plus some kind of activity every day.With COVID I developed chest tightness and breathlessness, particularly worse on exertion. I repeatedly said that it felt like

Insurance company issues
Hi everyone. I'm new to this so I've no idea whether anyone can advise me. I've recently been told I need bypass surgery and it's apparently quite urgent. I've got private health insurance (since 2021, never used), but when I contacted them they said that because I've been on statins since 2015 and am

just checking I'm doing the right thing...
I've been taking amlodipine 10mg as well as atorvastatin 20mg for 18 months. I've 2 fairly straightforward questions: I've been told that the statin can contribute to lowering bp, as its effect is to lower my cholesterol. Is that correct? Secondly, my understanding is that the liver is most active

Stent - do I need one?
I have haad scan, stress test, and there is a suspicion of LAD giving problems, but nothing conclusive. I was put on Beta blockers, statins, and now I have no pains, low blood pressure and am walking up to 18 miles a day with group. I do get raised heart beats if I walk to fast, or am physically tired

Statins in older patients and their benefits
There is, not surprisingly, a lot of discussion here about us taking statins and one of the points often made is that there has been little evidence of benefit for over 75s - mainly because they are more often than not excluded from clinical trials. This is a patient summary of a Chinese study which

Has anyone tried Inclisiran in place of Statins
My doctor is keen to reduce my cholesterol as it is 7.3 and I can't/wont take statins. I also have problems with palpitations so can't even raise my levo. I am a bit worried I am developing a heart condition too. I am just waiting for a blood test and xray before I go back to the doc who has suggested

Cholesterol level and Q Risk
I don't remember seeing any discussions about the Q Risk with relation to a stroke or heart attack. My last bloods came back normal, no action. My cholesterol was 5.3 and I'm on 2mg pred.I asked the nurse what the Q risk was and it came up as 25% chance of a stroke or heart attack within the next 10
