So shocked to realise how unhealthy I am
On
statins
. Exercise regularly. Eat a mainly veggie dire, with some oily fish. I'm researching further changes to my diet but wondering whether to start supplements, special yoghurt etc, though I'd prefer to avoid what I think of as "faddy eating".

Taking Statins
I have gone back on
statins
and immediately, started suffering again. I have read some studies and watched video clips on YouTube that contradict everything that we know about cholesterol and warn against the use of
statins
.

Blood Test Results - opinions please
Ido t take
statins
. I don’t feel over medicated and my energy levels are usually very low as also have a diagnosis of ME/CFS. I am struggling to lose half a stone, don’t have loose stools or any heart palpitations or hand tremors.

Levothyroxine intolerance
I have had similar pain caused by clopidogrel, fragmin and heperin and will not touch
statins
as I think I am a bad risk with them. I think more damage is occurring now and want to stop taking the Levo and go T3 only. Things which have helped to convince me it is the Levo.

Avoiding Nightshades for a week now has certainly improved my muscle aches!
Hi All I have been searching for an answer to the ongoing progressive muscle aches which started during a 12 week course of
statins
which I stopped myself in April 17 I have had every test and tried all the supplements and diets you care to name. All without success!

Legs hurt

statins
as I suffered muscle weakness. Are these two drug similar? 😩

Will my dad be okay?
He doesn’t have diabetes, and his doctor said his cholesterol was under control (but he’s been taking
statins
for years). His doctor just prescribed a beta blocker that he picked up today.

A new path - 6 weeks after Aortic Valve and Root Op
Based on my description of current level of exercise and discomfort (close to zero) along with a photo of my scar taken this morning I am: - able to drive; and - removing PPI (unless indigestion starts happening) from daily meds, leaving Bisoprolol, Aspirin and
Statins
; and - to have regular check-ups

Cholestrol and CKD

11 years and counting, but still not under control
In between all this we've had counselling, for Anxiety, Depression and medication to help, read books and tried exercise, some helped but she has come off all that and now is solely on Thyroxin &
Statins
10mgs. Where do we go from here ? If a Specialist, which one is any good ?
