So how do I stand then, having been on them for 12 years and now in my 70s do you think? Beginning to wonder if they contributed to my T2 diagnosis recently It's funny I've noticed better BS since I halved the dose.
I am soooo sorry.
You will never know, but if the facts fit...?
Worth reading up, and discussing with your health team whether giving them a rest for a while might be a good idea.
This is what bothers me most about statins. There must be thousands and 10s of thousands of people even millions, all over the world, experiencing side effects without a clue that the statins are causing them.
I mean, we all get older, don't we? All get random aches and pains. All get decreasing muscle strength. Glucose intolerance, pre diabetes and T2 are more prevalent, the older we get...
But all of those could be statin side effects. And sometimes they develop so slowly, and so insidiously, that it is impossible to link their onset to starting statins.
