[QUOTE="caliban, post: 790215, member: 140971"] I was on a high dose of Lipitor but stopped when I had severe side effects. no one mentioned it could be the statin So much back pain I was unable to walk more than 200 metres or stand for more than 20 minutes. I can now walk 6 miles. I am now Prediabetic and diabetes is a possible side effect of statins. The drug companies must be making a fortune from these pills that the government allows the NHS to hand out like sweeties. My doctor still tries to blackmail me into taking them. I have coronary heart disease and have had a heart by pass, but I'd sooner have quality of life over quantity, so I won't be taking them again. [/QUOTE]
