Statins, neuromuscular degenerative disease and an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-like syndrome: an analysis of individual case safety report
CONCLUSION: We emphasise the rarity of this possible association, and also the need for further study to establish whether a causal relationship exists. We do advocate that trial discontinuation of a statin should be considered in patients with serious neuromuscular disease such as the ALS-like syndrome

On the letter sent to my GP it says I have LAD 25% stenosis and therefore suggest I should be put on
statins
. I guess this means I have heart disease, Im not sure whether I should be at all concerned about this. Any thoughts would be welcome. By the way I am 68 years old.

Anxiety 1 year after CABG
I am on 1.25mg of bisoporol and
statins
along with Amlodipine. My blood pressure also has become erratic. Sometimes fine and sometimes quite high. At these times my fear is the bypass may have failed. I have gone to A&E a couple of times and ECG and bloods have been okay.

Similar faulty analysis of statin and thyroxine treatment in clinical trials
Malcolm Kendrick's latest blog interested me considerably in that it showed up the close similarities in the incorrect treatment and comment on clinical trials conducted both for
statins
and for thyroxine treatment.

Have I developed "doctor phobia" or what...?!
TBH, it feels like I've done something wrong or immoral or even illegal by going outside the national health care system and opting for alternative treatment prescribed by a practitioner who believes that hormonal imbalances are to blame for many of the conditions mainstream doctors treat with

Coming off statins
A few days ago I was reading a posting from a guy who was going to, or had stopped taking his
statins
because of leg pain and I can't find this posting. Perhaps he could remind me who he is, or PM me?
