Bridie you shouldn't be in so much pain so see your doctor ASAP.Re: Statins
I'm seeing the doctor on Monday but not holding out much hope, she wasnt too sympathetic last week but the private doctor I saw from work says he is going to write to her. He couldnt believe that she hadnt given me anything not even anti inflamatories.Re: Statins
Hi all..i can give you advice on this from my experience...i have had 3 different types of statin ..the first for 3 years then 2 years with a year break , ..i thought the problems i was getting was poss age related they caused me a great deal of muscle pain and other symptoms. but when i suffered 2 strokes to my optic nerves the doctor put me on them again and all the problems returned, before they put me on a different type of drug called ezetrol or ezetimibe and so far so good no problems at all and lower cholesterol ...they dont offer this drug routinely because statins are cheaperRe: Statins
I have just read this topic with great interest.Re: Statins
Whoooa steady up, remember that what suit one might not suit another, we are not all the same.Re: Statins
Well, Im seeing the doctor tomorrow and I still havent decided what to say. Thats if I have high cholesterol of course. I'm assuming I have, she wouldnt want to see me if I didnt. I'll see what she says, Im going to still change my GP anyway after tomorrow so I can come off it if I'm not happy.Re: Statins
The only reason that statins are being promoted for everyone is that the pharmceutical companies make mega bucks from them and continuing large profits.Re: Statins
Re: Statins
Equally you can overdose on vitamin supplements, but one thing bothers me, if you take supplements how do you know you need them? There is very little done in the way of testing folks for vitamin deficiency.
