Statins And Fake News
I saw the following article is Cardiovascular Business today. It seems that up to 1 in 3 may not be taking their prescribed statins because of the negativity around statins in the media and elsewhere. As a result many people may be shortening their lives. It is compared to the issue around vaccinations

Alternatives to Statins
Ezetimibe is a tablet that lowers cholesterol. It may be prescribed if statins cannot be taken, or alongside a statin for extra cholesterol-lowering. It’s a ‘cholesterol absorption inhibitor’ that limits the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine. As a result, less cholesterol is taken to the

Leg pain with other than statins and other meds.
After quitting statins because of severe leg pain I went to Welchol and had the same problem. I then went to the injection method with Repatha now, after six weeks it appears my leg pain is returning with a vengeance. (Leg pain did go away after quitting the other drugs). I'm at a loss as it appears

Statin Dilemma
I am a 61 year old woman; I was diagnosed with high cholesterol two and a half years ago. I had that appointment at the Lipid Clinic, and was advised to start a small dose of Statins, Simvastatin. At that time I refused to take the statins and was left to be reviewed at a later date. I was told that

Nagging doctors.
I recently had my annual blood test to check cholesterol and thyroid hormones, and surprise, surprise, I`ve had a text from my gp`s surgery asking me to make an appointment to discuss the results. I know from experience what happens next. I`m going to be told that my cholesterol is too high and that

Post stent drugs
Hi I had a stent after a mild heart attack and was put on six drugs including statins at a level of 80, 2 blood thinners and a beta blocker and an aspirin. I stopped one blood thinner Rampiril because of the cough. I have been told that this bombing with drugs is normal. So far no side effects with the

medication can give you more problems
I am very concerned that not enough caution is given by doctors when prescribing medication with statins and blood pressure tablets in my case I have had a bad experience with raised GGT and have to keep insisting on blood tests to check if meds are having an effect and I worry how many people are medicated

High blood pressure, high cholesterol - Oops
Just moved house and a new doctor did the usual blood tests as a new patient. Together with blood pressure monitoring, I am now told I have high blood pressure and my cholesterol is extremely high. Tried statins 10 years ago, which made me look and feel like an old lady. Now I am trying again,

Old Subject re Statin use and PCa
I know there has been lots of discussion on the subject topic. In hopes of not beating a dead horse I recall those that claimed a hydrophilic (Crestor -rosuvastatin) had no positive benefit vs a lipophillic statin such as atorvastatin. However notable studies Contradict this notion, “Our results

High cholesterol Hashimotos
My recent cholesterol result was 7.7 which is up from December last year when it was 6.7. My Endo confirmed that it’s high because of thyroid disease, my gp had previously said otherwise. My Mum had high cholesterol and took statins, she was never diagnosed with thyroid disease. I just don’t know what
