continued RLS after stopping statin
As one post I read here said, many here may know and accept that
statins
can cause RLS. My PCP is sceptical of this and wondered why I still have RLS if I no longer take a statin. I was just wondering if anyone here found that stopping
statins
helped with RLS. Thanks!

Afib Stroke Risk Lower in those that take Statins
Something to discuss with your doctor if you're not already on
statins
, especially if you're boderline or even don't qualify for
statins
under current guidelines.

Just a follow up to my post last week
Cholesterol is another issue and of course wants me to go on
statins
which at this point I refused. If it wasn’t for the help on here I would of been lost and so confused thank you so much. I’ve started on a Vit B complex as well as my other Betteryou sprays so I’m hoping they help.

Atorvastatin
Initially I took it at night as I’ve read that our bodies make cholesterol at night so taking
statins
at night makes them more effective. I’m pretty sure it gave me disturbing dreams so I’ve changed it to break time! My cholesterol has dropped to 4 now which is great.

Safe and useful to take K2 MK7 after stent and under clopidogrel ??
+ 80mg
statins
+ asaflow + ramipril... I'm looking for something else, to treat the cause and not only the symptoms of calcification. I've read positive accounts and testimonies of people on vitamin K2 but is it safe in my case?

Statins
Aspirin now added to medication.I am finding
Statins
difficult to manage. Switched from Atvorstatin as it made me constipated. Simvastatin at 20mg is still causing constipation and affecting sleeping, waking up several times a night etc.

Statins and B12 deficiency
Her advice was to start taking
statins
. I managed to get her to request some blood tests first. Partly because I wanted my folate, ferritin etc checked, but also to see whether
statins
are necessary..... I have some reluctance surrounding
statins
.

Here, have some
statins
and we will drop your Levo dose. Sigh. This is a GP new to the practice and she has obviously not read my file. Over the years they have dropped my Levo from 350 a day to now 75. I take NDT and have told them, and it is on file.

Atorvastatin triggering AF?
I know there's a lot on
statins
on here but I haven't seen anyone actually make a possible association between AF and
statins
. Thanks for any information.

Statins
A Doctor at the Diabetes Clinic (I am pre-diabetic) recommended
statins
when I inquired about how to offset the tendency of Prednisone to raise blood sugar. I don't want to take them. Is there a valid reason why I should?

Do I have heart failure or heart disease?
I was given
statins
, aspirin and an ACE Inhibitor. Last Thursday I had an angiogram. That revealed a blockage in one of my arteries and I am being referred to have a stent fitted. The surgeon said I was "fairly non-urgent" whatever that means. So to my question.

Any suggestions for how to improve my poos
I expect this is probably being caused by the cocktail of meds I am taking - Methotrexate, Prednisone , Omeprazole, folic acid, Alendronic Acid,
statins
, and Vitamin D. However, I am wondering if there is anything I could be doing to improve this? Suggestions gratefully received.
