Simvastatin & Radioresistance.
New study below [1]. Years ago, when I had salvage radiation, I was not on Simvastatin, but I was by the time a lesion at L5 was treated. From the new paper: "These findings reveal that simvastatin may be a potent therapeutic agent for co-treatment with radiation to overcome radioresistance in PCa

Hi Just joined the group
After a long battle with a doctor gave in and is taking simvastatin. Does anyone have severe muscle pain in one arm I do a gym workout had a break, lowered the weights I lift. The shock is that the pain is really bad after taking statin and in the night.

Glucosamine - possible effects on lipid profiles
I had a heart attack in 2005 at the age of 54. Stent in right coronary artery, put on simvastatin 40mg, bisopolol 2.5mg and aspirin. Very good lipid profile for several years. After 10 years on the simvastatin I was changed to Atorvastatin 30mg. Over the last few years I have been trying to reduce

Statin use and survival in metastatic castration-resistant PCa treated with abiraterone or enzalutamide after docetaxel failure.
New study below [1]. I believe that in the U.S. more than half of men my age are using a statin. On the other hand, I sense antipathy towards statins among many who are not using them. Certainly, there are sites such as Mercola's that contain dire warnings. In my case, I had no interest in lowering

Statins and Abiraterone
Hi All I really am in a quandary. I’ve read conflicting reports on statins. For the last 6+ years I’ve been taking Abiraterone/Prednisone and Zoladex with remarkable results, given my dx. I’m now considering adding a statin to help with cholesterol increase, and the earlier post regarding Simvastatin

Statins and Levothyroxine
I was diagnosed with under active thyroid in 1983, based on TSH And T4 blood results, no other test to identify cause. I had been suffering what I now know were hypothyroid symptoms for almost 2 years, progressively getting worse before finally getting diagnosed (so bad I don’t think I would have lasted

Pravastatin vs. Simvastatin
My LDL cholesterol has gone up considerably in the last couple years. I'm not sure if it is an inflammatory response to all the radiation, but regardless, I am thinking of adding a statin. I have read and my MO agrees there may be a mild benefit in the prostate cancer battle to adding a statin. Does

Cholesterol or not to Cholesterol
The doctor at hospital told me he thought I’d had a silent heart attack because my archery’s had narrowed, and asked if I had high cholesterol? I said I don’t know I’ve never had it checked. He then prescribed me a cholesterol tablet. I saw the heart failure nurse and asked about getting my cholesterol

She said their inability to be mobile was due to Simvastatin, although I was advised that one of the side effects is muscle wastage. I have since stop taking but I need advise and people's

Simvastatin and Valentine's Day
I had my every 3 month follow-up with my Rheumatologist today. (He's one of the good ones.) I was nervous and prepared myself for 'battle' as I was going to have to confess that I had stopped taking Simvastatin. We discussed about all my aches, pains, sed rate, blah blah blah. It was getting toward
