[QUOTE="thebristolrover, post: 1788284, member: 184312"] I also have been on the merry go round of statins. Was taking statins for high cholesterol. But, they never reduced my cholesterol. All i had were the side effects. Which i'm sure those of you, who have taken statins. Are fully aware of. Also, due to all the bad and negative press regarding statins. I also choose to stop taking them. Until i had a heart attack last November. Straight away the doctors prescribed statins. I more or less had a blazing row with the doc. Telling him that they've never done me any good. And i considered the fact that i wasn't diabetic. Prior to taking the stains. And that in my opinion, taking statins had contributed to the onset of T2 diabetes. I pointed out all the side effects that i had suffered from. And when i mentioned, that while taking statins i was unable at times. To raise my arms up to my head. To wash my hair in the shower. Instant and very quick reply from the Doc. Was, " put him on Rosuvastatin " . A type or brand i had never taken before. So far, no significant side effects. At least i can wash my hair. Without any problems. And they seem to be keeping my cholesterol stable. Personally myself, i would prefer not to take them. But having had a heart attack. I don't really have a lot of choice. I have to play ball. So ask your doc if you can try them. And see how you get on with them. You never know. They might just work for you . [/QUOTE]
