[QUOTE="Pasha, post: 719356, member: 127898"] I have been taking statins for 25 years now and without any side effects that I can link directly to them. I have had calf muscle pains and hip pains [still do ] but the cessation of the statin therapy of up to six months made no difference. My liver function is tested frequently and the results are always good. My short term memory is not what it used to be, but I think that this pretty common for the over 70 year olds. I continue to take 10 mg of Simvastatin/day. I had a heart attack 25 years ago and quadruple by-pass surgery 12 years ago. I was diagnosed as prediabetic 2 years ago. Almost forgot to mention that the greatest improvement in my lipid panel came from the LCHF diet. HDL almost doubled and triglycerides plummeted.The 10 mg of Simvastatin keeps my LDL below 70 mg/dl which is in accord with my health fund requirements. [/QUOTE]
