Experiences with

Statins

Taking 3 out of 4 meds not happy to take statins. Any advice.

The statins I am on is Atorvastatin, has anybody else got any knowledge of these meds??

Has anyone had experience of taking statins since being diagnosed with osteoporosis , any particular side effects . I've got enough pain to deal with from my fractures and I'm worried about causing additional aches and pains with Statins.

My husband has been taking rosuvastain 40mg for over a year. He has progressively become weaker, developed foamy urine & lastvweek woke up with a black eye & spent 2 days in bed. All we get from the doctor is to keep taking the med. He feels so bad he's has stopped taking the drug

Hi there I am sure I read only this morning on this website that someone said there was a link between taking statins and RA , saying that the statins made symptoms worse? But now I can’t for the life of me find it , any help on this subject would be much appreciated please , TIA

Are hydrophilic statins better than lipophilic, as far as muscle problems go? Which of the many statins available is least likely to cause muscle problems? And lastly, why was I put on them if my total cholesterol was only 3.0? Thanks Alps

Hi All Still looking for an answer for long standing muscle aches which started during a short 12 week course of statins, ending in April 17 - and have not gone away but have even progressed from then. I read recently that statins target the same enzyme in the liver, that muscles need.

When I read up on statins I was rather put off when I read about the risk of type 2 diabetes. My present blood glucose levels are normal. I wondered what the experience of others with statins has been and also how they relate to AF.

Six years ago I had a series of tests by a neurologist, all negative, and was told it may be due to the statins, but it was Hobsons Choice, either stop statins and risk a further heart attack, or live with the pain.

I've recently been prescribed statins which have made the pain a lot worse. My doctor has tried different ones, which hasn't helped. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

Hi All I understand that before starting statins these tests should be done - Liver markers - Kidney markers - CK test - Full lipid profile Anything else please? Thank you Alps

Hi, I wonder if anyone takes statins and if they make your IBS worse. My GP wants me to take them but i tried for a week and my tum was really gripey so I stopped them. Do the effects wear off? Otherwise my IBS is more important.

body tightening up, when I was in hospitial there was a guy in the bed opiste and he said he's mate started taking statins and he had to stop he's dancing because he knees and legs was hurting,so he stopped the statins, my question is are the statins doing me more bad than good,sorry for my crap spelling

Can I replace Statins with diet. Cholesterol is good as is BP and heart beat 68 resting.
