Rivaroxaban is not for me, or was it? Aches and pains getting very bad again after 3.5 days off Rivaroxaban.
This is a detailed diary of my situation in the hope that someone has a bright idea, or agrees with my logic, as I have no formal medical knowledge.

Are commercial cholesterol testing kits/machines any use?
Hi, This is my first post. I have really benefited from reading all of your blogs and questions so far. I had a stent fitted 6 weeks ago due to a severe blockage in LAD coronary artery. Alongside all the other meds I need to take, I have tried Atorvastatin and Pravastatin (as well as Simvastatin previously

Can some of the pain also be due to statins?
I have been having typical PMR pain - although with normal blood results, and am on prednisolone. Initially I had dramatic improvement, but recently the pelvic girdle pain is increasing. I was on simvastatin 20mg, but was changed initially to bezafibrate (because of muscle pain) which was ineffective

My journey from misery to hope.
I wanted to share something. As some of you are aware, I had my Levothyroxine reduced just over 7 years ago from 150mcg down to 100mcg purely on the basis of the TSH. At the time I had only basic understanding of my situation as a post-total thyroidectomy patient. I had been quite well

Statins Linked With Risk of Musculoskeletal Injury
Relevant for thyroid patients because cholesterol and thyroid hormones are linked. GPs are being persuaded to prescribe statins to lower cholesterol, rather than look for the real cause of high cholesterol. There is a debate elsewhere as to whether raised cholesterol is the problem it is made out to

Simvastatin and effects of!
Cholesterol 7.7 so GP prescribed 40mcg of simvastatin to be taken nightly. Took first one Monday evening. On Wednesday had a funny dizzy spell, but didn't link it to new drugs. Thursday and Friday feeling a little spaced out and not wanting to do anything. Saturday - extremely spaced out and dizzy, pins

Which statin is best?
I know there is no right answer but curious for any advice. I am on 20mg of simvasatin which I reluctantly went back on after a couple of years break. I know my consultant wanted me on a higher equivalent dose but we compromised :-) He said he would rather me on a more modern version of statin

Do I have FH?
I have had cholesterol deposits around my eyes for a number of years and around 7 years ago had a cholesterol check which showed total cholesterol of 13.2 I was put on 80mg simvastatin and asprin daily. Within a few days I had so much muscular pain that I stopped the statins. Shortly after I changed

Statin induced Fibromyalgia!!???
Hi All, I've just been surfing the net and come across an article about stain induced fibromyalgia! I knew statins caused muscle pain but as I had been on Amitriptyline for 4 years before being put on Simvastatin I didn't think THEY were making my pain any worse. Seems like perhaps they were because

Simvastatin 20 mg prescribed today ?
After reading about statins, I am reluctant to start taking my first pill today, my father has high cholesterol and his specialist asked that his children's be tested. My results are 6.1 with 1.8 good and my GP recommends commencing statins, I was in agreement this morning bit after reading I am now
