[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 1478053, member: 113206"] I had side effects (muscle weakness) when I took statins more than ten years ago. Ever since just about every doctor I've had consults with have tried to get me back on statins (without success). I just got a new doctor and he also suggested I go on statins. When I said no (more like h*ll no!), he guessed that I'd taken them in the past and gotten side effects. We had a nice chat about it and he said that almost all his patients that resist statins do so because they'd had side effects from them in the past. Then he said he was fine with me not taking statins and would not attempt to pressure me into taking them. I wish all doctors took this approach. [/QUOTE]
