New Year, Less Flab
Interestingly, what put the final nail in the coffin was a series of scientific trials on drugs which either reduce total cholesterol (
statins
),reduced LDL (
statins
and PCSK9 inhibitors), or increase HDL (
statins
and niacin). All of them do exactly what they say on the tin.

Left hand and arm pins and needles and goes to sleep ?
Cholesterol is high at 7.2 and I don’t take the
statins
my doctor prescribes. I don’t know if it’ could be that. ( I don’t take the
statins
as they cause several other side effects so stopped taking them). Any suggestions please ?

Anti Statin Agenda
Being new to
statins
I decided to search this forum, and HU's Cholesterol one, with the search term of "statin". I have never seen such negativity.

Confused
I also take
statins
could this be part of it. I have been advised to cut down which I am trying to do, but I am going on holiday next week , would an extra week make any difference so I can get onto it fully when we return? I would appreciate any help or advice you can give me. Regards

PMG/Thyroid - Steroids
I am mainly concerned about the
statins
and of course whether I should be taking them at such a high dosage. I have weaned myself off Pred to 7mg from 25mg and am pleased with my progress, but am worried that the
statins
may upset my progress of getting off Pred.

Calf Muscle problems
At that stage it was agreed that I would stop taking
Statins
as the Neurologist judged, after numerous scans and blood tests, that they were the likely cause of my calf muscle problems.

Statins
Just became aware of a connection with
Statins
and PMR. I have decided to stop taking my daily 10mg statin. See my Rheumatologist next week. I will discuss it then.

Exercise????
proscribed as part of the treatment along with things like diet, non-smoking,
statins
, etc. . But nowhere can I find any information to say why exercise is good for this condition nor how the exercise assists the situation.

Flawed cholesterol study makes headlines
"A controversial study has argued that if you have a high LDL (bad) cholesterol level when you are aged over 60, you will live longer, there is no increased risk of cardiovascular disease and that
statins
will have little effect. But can we trust these bold claims?"

Mevalonate Pathway Disruption
Statins
work by disrupting the mevalonate pathway, of which CoQ10 is a part. Not surprising there are so many adverse effects.
