Annie,
You don't suffer the side effects of statins and I am pleased for you. Some Doctors will prescribe statins for every diabetic on their books whilst others are more measured in their approach.
We are not talking about a niggly little pains as side effects but constant acute pain that affects every aspect of a person's daily life. ~It can be so debilitating that people become severely depressed and have to stop activities or have sick leave from their work.
You also have to respect that more people are not experiencing/experiencing the side effects and new members are also adding to the debate on statins.
Should we stop talking about the pros and cons of Metformin, Insulin, Thyroxine, Vitamins and Supplements and all the other medications used by forum members?
By having threads like this, people are more aware even if they don't post.
It is a topic that will never disappear because it affects people in a good or bad way.
