[QUOTE="Daphne917, post: 2386595, member: 124172"] I agree that for some people there are no side effects but I don’t take them for the following reasons: 1. Increase BS - my hba1c went from 48 at diagnosis and starting statins to 54 within 6 months and reduced to 43 within another 6 months prompting my GP to annotate my notes as ‘statin intolerant’ as we don’t want to risk it happening again; 2. Sleepless nights - not good when you get up at 05.30 and not get back until 17.30 - sometimes later; 3. Sudden dizzy spells 4. A cholesterol level that is too low is unhealthy particularly for women In addition many people don’t need them and don’t know why they are taking them apart from the fact that they have been told to by their GP or DN because they are, for example, of a certain age or have diabetes. I’m sure there will be other members such as [USER=355878]@Resurgam[/USER] and [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] who will come along with their own reasons for not taking them. [/QUOTE]
