statins!
I am wondering if anyone else here is taking
statins
? I have resisted until now but have given in. However, having read some of the side effects I wish I hadn’t! I have permanent nerve damage to my left foot after shingles last year but am walking quite well now with a brace.

Steroids, statins, strange query
I stopped taking the
statins
on the 20th Oct and am still suffering intermittent foot pain. Will the
statins
be out of my system by now? It’s so hard to unpick what is going on with multiple conditions.

Is this a long wait to see a cardiologist, or is it normal?
I had an MI while abroad in December, I had to have CPR, I had a stent put in and spent 4 days in a foreign hospital ( it was very nice and my treatment was excellent) and I am now on what appears from this forum to be a pretty standard cocktail of thinners,
statins
, beta blockers, etc .

Hello everyone.....
As of last Friday, my doctor has put me on
statins
to reduce my cholesterol level and also a daily low dose of Asprin. He said this was for prevention of HA and stroke, as I've never had one. I had Mild Diffuse Coronary artery disease diagnosed when I was 28, and it showed mild atherosclerosis.

Why so many have cardiac disease
Hope more readers explore
statins
. Please be reminded that elevated lipoprotein(a) alone will not budge with improved lifestyle (diet, exercise). For now, the best way to address that risk factor: elevated Lp( a) is to reduce LDL aggressively. Consider LDL a poison.

Started Interferon
He thought it was most probably caused by the
statins
so I will pick up a different prescription tomorrow and see if that has an impact on the joint stiffness and the ‘pinging’ sensation in my fingers.

Feeling a bit frightened
I was on an introductory dose of
statins
, and now my GP is doubling the dose. I know this sounds silly, but I'm feeling very fragile today. Heart disease does run in my family and they are saying I possibly have "familial hypercholesterolemia" (fancy word for genetics).

Statins and muscle damage.
can someone furnish me with some evidence eg studies or scientific paper which shows conclusively that
statins
cause muscle damage, particularly in thyroid sufferers.

New Job, stressed regarding previous health
Obviously i have had angina but following the stent i have no symptoms, feel perfectly healthy and daily take Aspirin,
statins
and blood pressure pills. The new job is for a duel fuel smart meter engineer, nothing physically demanding.

Different truth about Statins
If you are on
Statins
, especially in terms of so called "primary prevention" you should read this and preferably also some of the sources and then make an educated decision. LINK REMOVED By the way the absolute results/benefits in secondary prevention are not much better.

Feeling confused!
And since
statins
don't bring down LP(a) - and may in fact increase it - it is useful to me to take a statin? What would it lower? Thank-you in advance for any information you can offer.
