[QUOTE="graj0, post: 931989"] You're not paranoid, it's one of the weirdest things because only this morning I've been talking to two friends who in the last three months have been prescribed a statin. Both are in their 60s, both are avid tennis players and golf players, both quite fit. Both are now experiencing the muscle pain and struggling to play tennis or golf at all, never mind their previous level, a change noted only in the last 3 months and considering what to do next. What annoys both of them is that they both have relatives who have absolutely no problem whatsoever. What's the good of lower cholesterol if you stop exercise. My father can't even walk to the Tesco Express not 150 yards from his house since his GP "INSISTED" he took the **** things. He's 88, if cholesterol was a problem, I think he'd know by now. Even the poll at the top suggests that 1 in 3 experience no pain or tolerable pain. My research into statins started because when I was first prescribed them in 1997, they were happy for my TC to be under 7 and over the years that has gone down to less than 4. Big question for me was why and who says. The "who says" is scary because it's the likes of Professor Collins who receives certain funding from the pharmaceutical companies as do several of the others involved in giving us advice. This information is available online or their are several books available Statin Damage Crisis is a good one. [/QUOTE]
