This gives TUK posters/admin some ammunition to challenge incorrectand misleading results a) by not taking

Statins and Fibromyalgia
My doctor has suggested that due to my family history I should start taking statins . Reading the information on possible side effects it seems one could be muscle pain and on some online medical sites it flags up fibromyalgia and statins. I don’t think I can take further added pain to my fibromyalgia
