Statins
Are most RA patients on
statins
? The rheumatologist has never mentioned them. My GP surgery recently asked me to attend an RA health check . A surprise as they never have done before. He did bloods for cholesterol, diabetes and something else which I can’t remember . Blood pressure, weight etc.

Potentially Heading Flarewards
So my GP is gently asking me to consider Aspirin and
statins
. I have a family history of TIAs and also vascular dementia so I can understand the concern, but at 54yrs old I am reluctant to be on handfuls of pills per day.

statins

statins
are bad for liver . Now don’t know what to think or do . Pat

I am having a break from
statins
because they gave me severe muscle pain. Any ideas why this has started in the last few weeks ?

Update: x-ray shock 😲
Along with the heart meds, I also now am given aspirin and
statins
. I am also aneamic so on iron. I have clottication. Thick blood. So...I called the bhf nurse. Very nice and helpful. She said I could ask my doctor for a pain patch for my groin as the blocked artery feels like a pressure.

Heart attack
Also the
statins
were bad at first especially atorvastitin 80mg I had night terrors fighting to stay alive in my dreams, I’m currently on rosuvastatin 20mg but these will go up to 40mg but are far better. Simon I.

Baracitinib & Cholesterol
I’m waiting to hear from my Rheumy who is very good so I don’t know what he’ll advise but I’m hoping I’m not told to go onto
Statins
but I also don’t want to risk a stroke or heart attack. Best wishes

Having a STEMI in mid 40's...the search for underlying causes / answers for premature CHD.
He is of course now on all the medications you can throw at this including
statins
, ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, ezetimibe, aspirin and clopidigrel. But here's the conundrum....no one so far can shed any light on why his arteries were so extensively blocked.

Oxycodone OR Bupenerole
I also take
statins
. My question is do I feel fatigued all the time because I am trying to come off pramipexole or is it the oxycodone. Before the Oxycodone I was taking codeine 30mg 20 tabs a day. About 4 months ago I was put on oxycodone instead of the codeine.

Another Cholesterol question
It’s interested me particularly as mine is the same and the surgery are trying to push
statins
on me. Currently I’m hypo so I said I’ll decide when my Thyroid levels are optimal. The link given by shaws explains the relationship between TSH and cholesterol.

Doctor rant
So no
statins
until then. So how important are they? It would appear not that important. The health service has gone to hell.

Statin Side Effects
Hi I have been on
statins
for many years now and for about 12 months I have been feeling quite generally unwell occasionally. Mainly weak, achy, shaky & sometimes upset stomach. I’ve had blood tests & calcium levels are found to be raised.

It all started with a purple toe!
I've had high cholesterol for more than twenty years and although I've been prescribed
statins
, have never continued taking them until recently when I developed a purple toe. The doctor was concerned it was an embolism and I was sent for several tests and to see a consultant.

Statins and stomach cramps .
I am a 70yr old male and I have never taken
statins
before . I took the tablets for 4 weeks then had to stop taking them due to unbearable excruciating stomach cramps that prevented me getting any sleep until I stopped them .

Appt at Lipids Clinic and discussion about thyroid levels
They are going to do all the genetic tests, which is great, but there was a lot of pressure to take
statins
(and some fear mongering)and dismissal of any controversy about the benefits of
statins
. Results of these tests take 6-8 weeks so will have another appointment then to make a decision.

Worried
I have a GP appointment tomorrow my cholesterol was 7.6 so I think it’s to discuss
statins
which I have resisted until now. I’m still getting these painful hips, eye aches and sharp pains in my temples, feeling more fatigued and regular night sweats.
