[QUOTE="kazlincs, post: 200234, member: 33233"] [b]Re: STATIN QUESTIONS and ANSWERS[/b] i started by taking simvastatin, which caused more problems with my acid reflux, and gave me leg cramps. i refused to take them, and my G.P them put me on Atorvastatin, which i have been taking for approx 2 yrs, and i have no problems with it at all! my cholestrol is down to the 3's. i have heard that atorvastatin is the best one for women. im not sure why though! i have no complaints with this medication at all. just try different ones, dont try one, then give up!! my dad passed away 3 yrs ago from heart disease. he didnt have a clue he had it, and it turns out that alot of his aunts and uncles passed with heart related problems. so, i have more chance of having heart attacks as i get older, and having statins is one thing i can do to help prevent this happening to me. we all know that diabetics have more chance of having heart problems as a complication of diabetes, so i think that anything you can do to prevent more health problems as you get older.. then do it!!!
