Statins and side effects
This report has made me rethink whether I should start again and make absolutely certain that the pain is caused by the
statins
and not by other things such as diet, foodstuffs, drink, other pills, exercise etc. or even a mental block!

Inclisiran
I have had problems with 4
statins
and Ezetimibe, and GPs have offered Inclisiran. This is an injection that lasts 6 months, so any side effects stay with you for the duration. Has anyone any experience of this drug and it's side effects, if any.

I have run out of feathers to spit!
She then wanted me to try
statins
as my cholesterol was slightly raised. I pointed out when my thyroid levels were good, my cholesterol was good, but we would not know now...

Alternative to Omeprozole
Refused
statins
5 years ago but considered them last year as terrible exercise tolerance and some scary near fainting episodes. Still don't take them. It genuinely never occurred to me that my kidneys were poor.

HELP PLEASE.
I have done research that you need to come off the
statins
at least two months before trying. So my question is anyone on
statins
come off them to try for a baby and how did you manage your cholesterol?

statins
if I want. I have a bmi of 26, gained a stone since jan 2022. don't smoke, walk my dog and eat healthy. For the past 33 months I have had what I thought was tennis elbow in both elbows.

Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
I am to stop
statins
for at least 3 weeks as I continue to try to reduce from 4mgs to 3.5, and when/if successful, to take one a week, building slowly up but not taking on consecutive days. Sertraline 50mgs a day, and further appointment in 5 weeks to check progress.

Microvascular Disease / Syndrome X
I was put on
statins
and aspirin at that time. From then on, any doctors I have seen try to reassure me that I don't have cardiac disease, however the symptoms are still the same and I have no diagnosis. I also had a cardiac echo test which was apparently also normal.

Taking statins does not commonly cause muscle pain, researchers say
And what happens if someone on
statins
becomes hypothyroid?

High blood pressure
Doctor suggested i am borderline for
statins
and obviously there are side effects from that. Plus it is then a long term medication. Anybody else with a similar problem or have any solutions? Ìm not really overweight and do not drink much. Thanks.
