[QUOTE="fletchweb, post: 1353872, member: 318202"] Same thing happened to me - I was 45 and the doctor felt compelled to put me on Statins even though my blood work indicated that my cholesterol levels were fine. He told me some **** about someone living with diabetes as long as I had was like someone who already had a heart attack - I very seldom see him now because I didn't appreciate the scare tactics. Anyway, I started taking them and suddenly my level of physical activity dropped significantly because of aches and pains etc. It got to the point that I could no longer carry my canoe across the road or to cycle any further than a couple of kilometers. So I stopped taking the statin - and told him - he got ****** off - but I'm 55 now and I'm back with my normal physical routine again, don't think I would be able to say that if I didn't stop taking statins. Remind your husband that when all is said and done, he's responsible for his healthcare and maintenance, not his doctor and assuming his cholesterol levels are fine why put more money in the Big Pharma coffers. All the best! [/QUOTE]
