Experiences with

Statins

Could that be statins.? Thanks #statins #Atorvastatin

My GP wants to put me on statins now for high cholesterol ( 8.4) & I just wondered if there are any risks associated with this ?

GP wants to start me on Rosuvastatin as my cholesterol level has risen (7.7) since starting my treatment on Decepeptyl and Xtandi. Was wondering if starting a statin would reduce the effects of my treatment on the prostate cancer itself. Many thanks in advance

It is difficult to make any changes, but i think i would rather try to make some changes before I start statins. Are there any concerns regarding statins in general, or in relation to PA that I should be concerned about? I think I was low on b12 feb/march and had let dosing slip.

Hi is anyone taking statins and methotrexate They want to to take statins but very wary

I’ve just realised I have not brought enough Statins with me and I’m here for another week. How bad is it to miss statins for a whole week after taking them for 15 years?

Hi looking for some advice , I recently saw my alpha 1 liver specialist recently I have liver cirrhosis and he has recommended a liver biopsy, pre diabetes check and possible statins to help with weight loss he also thinks I have metabolic syndrome any ideas why he’s suggesting statins ? Cheers

I've recently been prescribed Statins (Atorvastatin) & have constant stomach ache & really bad explosive diarohea & Loperamide now doesn't work!!! Can't tell you how embarrassing it's been!

Nurse practitioner wants me to go on statins although my bloods were ok. In 69. What do you think. Feel I’m taking enough pills at the moment and heard they can give you muscle aches.

Has anyone had success with meds other than statins? I am unable to take them.

What are the side effects of statins .My GP keeps dropping indirect hints that I might have to go on them .Im on BP tablets but nevr been on statins

Am on blood thinners, ACE inhibitors and statins.

Was reading up statins can cause issue and people have stopped taking statins once cholesterol is controlled by Vegan lifestyle and exercise. Thx Seamus

My brother died last year from cancer he had a bypass 15 years ago, after his bypass he was prescribed statins 80mg per day.

Just wondering if this is the experience of any of you lovely people out there and if you’ve had to go onto statins have you had any problems? Thanks lots.

But his views on statins and preventive medicine seem sensible. Any thoughts? I have had numerous negative side effects from any statins I have tried and had a dreadful time on Bisoprolol - which I have discontinued. Thanks!
