[QUOTE="Beshlie, post: 510348, member: 88983"] I have tried to take statins, off and on, for years, but always developed severe muscle pain, the worst attack when the muscles of my chest around my ribs flared and I thought I was having a heart attack. Stopped those statins and pain went away - took ONE and pain returned. Nevertheless, they still turn up when my prescriptions are delivered each month, I just don't take them. I already have to deal with the pain of fibromyalgia without adding to it!! Also, research does seem to be pointing towards sugar affecting the heart rather than cholesterol, I guess we will have to wait and see the outcome of all this. [/QUOTE]
