I could not tolerate statin medication, it was causing pain on the level of 8 daily, also inflammation through out my body! Since stopping it I went from 179# to 150#. I am more active & feel much better!
I developed myositis from the use of Lipitor. This disease is not curable. I can no longer sit/stand without assistance, can’t raise my hands high enough to even comb my own hair. Anyone who says the benefits out way the risks of using this drug isn’t taking into consideration those of us who become permanently disabled as a result of the drug’s effect. The constant pain, emotional struggles and mobility issues are real.
i am taking 3x a week, 5mg Rosuvastatin and I also take 90mg diltiazem, and Twynsta. My body is in pain. Back, shoulders, biceps, thighs (both sides), just like you worked out.
I developed muscle weakness within 5 days for 20 mg daily of rouvastatin. The gallon milk jug felt like a ton. And I have lifted weights m whole life. Stopped taking. Waited three months and tried low dose fluvostatin ……muscle spasm and pain with one dose.
Frustrating that the interviewer doesn't ask the hard question. What are the benefits? Please show me in the study. Less than 1% of the people will benefit from statins according to the studies and they don't reduce mortality or lengthen life. Do doctors not look at the details of the studies themselves and just believe the pharma company relative statistics?

Cardiologists do not like to acknowledge side effects from statins. It’s pretty aggravating.
I have to agree 👍

Yes. They are not all the rage. They do have their place but not for everyone by any means. Statins messed me up and quickly.
