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
.

Husband was wrong : not hard headed after all!
And apparently,
Statins
can positively potentiate the effect of Aln.

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
Even my feet ache My doctor say she wants me off steroids ASAP as it said in my notes that I couldn’t take
statins
as I suffered muscle weakness. Are these two drug similar? 😩

Cholestrol and CKD
Her nephrologist seems to have focused on her GFR and missed the other markers - Oh and her cholestrol (strongly proposing
statins
!)

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

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.

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 ?

Is somatostatin an anticancer drug?
Many of the skilled contributors in this forum explained that some
statins
are also very effective against prostate cancer too. I would be very grateful if you could help us to find a good solution, maybe for both cancers together? Claud

Newly diagnosed and seeking help
My cholesterol had also gone from normal to very high prompting prescription for
statins
. Other blood test results were normal except TSH which was 11.61. GP was reluctant to prescribe Levothyroxine but relented due to my symptoms, prescribing 25 mg/day.

Why take statins when my angiogram came out clear?
My GP now wants me to take
statins
. I want to really concentrate on lowering my bad cholesterol naturally. I understand that
statins
can, among other things, affect your liver! If I already have some sort of liver issue but my arteries are "pristine", why should I take
statins
?
