pbc and statins
Was put on
statins
for high cholesterol but these brought on a weird itch so stopped taking
statins
. I also take 20mg pantoprazole daily for reflux, which I can’t do without. My ferritin is low at 21. Just wanted to know if people take
statins
/ppi with pbc and how they affect you,

Statins
I am now reconsidering taking
Statins
and I’ve been searching the internet for information on whether
statins
help to slow or increase the progression of Chronic Kidney disease and I am left confused. There seems to be NO overall conclusive evidence in the articles I’ve read.

Prioritise quality of life
With the "less medicine" argument possibly being applied to
statins
and anti-depressants which are prescribed all too readily and without proper consideration of quality of life.

Statins and dreams
My question is do people on the other versions of
statins
also get the same effect or is there a statin version that doesn't have the same side effects?? Thanks in advance

how statins slow growth of prostate
My personal experience is that by taking Repatha, a relatively new drug that lowers cholesterol dramatically --more than
statins
-- has increased my PSA doubling time to 18.8 months, from an initial 1 month!

Statins
I have had RLS for close to 20 years and it has progressively got worse. I am on Pexola 1mg at night. I had heart surgery six years ago and am on 5mg of Zuvamor as a precautionary measure. Should I rather take my heart medication in the morning as I am now reading that it can affect the RLS?

Statins.
My question is after all that has anybody else experienced these awful pains, muscle twitching and burning feet if they have stopped their
statins
. I am normally a very compliant patient but not sleeping has been really dragging me down.

Repatha
I have FH and been on
statins
25 years. Am under Endocrinology as they were also looking at my thyroid. In the meantime in May I got rushed to hospital with sepsis and told I had a heart murmur which ended up with me having an aortic valve replacement.

Medicine for life
I know aspirin and
statins

Statins for heart failure
I've read mixed reviews about
statins
for heart failure , and neither my heart surgeon or Cardiologist have suggested it. What are peoples views or experiences on taking
Statins
for this reason ? Thanks in anticipation .

Update following long-awaited GP appointment for results of Thyroid blood test
Said I didn't want
statins
and also reminded her that it seems high cholesterol and hypothyroidism go hand in hand as I only developed this since having thyroid issues.
