[QUOTE="Paul520785, post: 2195637, member: 28546"] I was told to take statins and did so for a couple of years until I started to get terrible cramp on both sides of both legs every night. Gp said this was not caused by the statins but after 3 months of agony I decided to stop the statins and 5 weeks later the cramps stopped. Now my consultant usually asks if I would take statins and then says "your cholesterol is OK so I will not push it as I can remember your answer!" Medical professionals have a little knowledge on most things but appear to lack a full understanding of all aspects. (based on 70 years experience) You need to make up your own mind because every one is different but it's really 6 of one v's half a dozen of the other T1 for 60+years [/QUOTE]
