Statins

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 ?

Statins.

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

Statins

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.

Not taking Avorstatin for a week

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?

Statins

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.

Thoughts on Dr. Malcolm Kendrick?

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!
