[QUOTE="tony48738, post: 200317, member: 35465"] [b]Re: STATIN QUESTIONS and ANSWERS[/b] I've been Type 1 for 18 months, and when diagnosed found I had cholesterol level of 11. I was put on Astorvastatin 80mg, after 12 months they crippled me every muscle in my body ached, my shoulder and knees were in constant pain. My doctor would not lower the dose even tho my levels had dropped to 3.2. he said live with the side effects or risk a heart attack or stroke. I got that bad I went to see differant doctors at my practice, until I found a doctor who lowered the dose as he could see the pain I was in. I am now on Asorvastatin 20mg and all the aches and pains have gone, my cholesterol has risen slightly to 4.3 but no pain. Seek a second opinion if you find your self in the same boat as I was in. :D [/QUOTE]
