[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2272848, member: 21149"] Hi. As others have said, your total cholesterol figure is irrelevant and the nurse should know that. It's the various ratios from your lipids results that matter. All statins can cause muscle ache (damage) but some are better than others. It's your choice to take them and if you do start on them, then take the lowest dose and wait for your next blood test to see the effect. I do take them as advised by my cardio consultant mainly to keep him happy(!) and I have no problems with them. I did ask for the dose to be reduced to the minimum necessary to have the right ratios. BTW do ask to be added to your surgery online system including test results. You can then go to your next review knowing your next blood test results and not wasting time exchanging figures but discussing the implications. [/QUOTE]
