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.

Statins & hypothyroidism
For those on
statins
: Hypothyroidism as a risk factor for statin intolerance https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S193328741400230X Be aware that some of your symptoms, especially muscle symptoms, may be due to taking
statins
rather than the hypothyroidism itself.

Australian saturated fat & cholesterol documentary (both parts)
A two-part documentary, The Heart of the Matter, which pulled in a huge audience of almost 1.5 million people per episode, reporter Maryanne Demasi suggested that high cholesterol does NOT cause heart disease and most people are wasting their time taking cholesterol-reducing drugs called
statins
.

Statins
Prior to my (surprise) heart attack on 20th March I was on Simvastatin but after my procedure was put on Arorvastatin. My problem is that I cannot seem to increase my energy levels. I tried half an hour walking each day but after a week it seemed like my body had been unplugged and I was completely drained

Sincere apologies
I do not advocate stopping
statins
, and don't believe anyone should stop taking their medication without their doctors approval. I take them and firmly believe that they are an important part of the treatment for people with established heart disease.

Recent test results
My Cholesterol has vastly improved, this was the reason I was sent to the endocrinologist as I didn’t want to embark on the
statins
route until my meds were right to get the cholesterol down. I am awaiting Vitamin D results The blood was taken with no medication for 24 hours.

Slightly high cholesterol
My husband had bloods taken and he has been told his cholesterol is slightly high and started on a
Statins
. She kept asking him if he was alright with it. I've suggest he hold back from starting them and try some lifestyle changes first. Is this reasonable?

Scary heartbeat
Beta blockers Blood thinners and
Statins
. My heart beat is nice is on 65 but it’s really and I mean really strong. I have a cuppa resting on my chest and it’s really moving the mug. Not just slightly, I mean the mug is dancing. Surely this isn’t AF?

Cholesterol
Any thoughts or advice if
statins
are a good option in general for women with PV. My gp says it’s up to me as the research is inconclusive.

Is there agreement that Cholesterol should be low?
I've seen some discussions on here regarding the pros and cons of
statins
, Mediterranean diet, going vegan etc. Think I need to learn more before I can make any decision.

Stopping statins
So, last January Dx’d with PMR; both local MD and Rheumatologist said to stop my statin. I have a strong family history of stroke but I said OK. Started on Prednisone 10mg; now down to 3mg/2.5mg alternate days, methotrexate once a week. Doing just fine there. Couple of times I suggested to each doc separately
