[QUOTE="Enclave, post: 1021329, member: 92754"] I stopped my statins a little while ago due to not being happy when on them .... But after watching my cholesterol rise slightly I thought I would try plant sterols in a tablet form ... As they are not prescription medications I thought there would be little or no side effects ... Non were listed on the packet ... But wow ... My pain was far more than when I was on the statin ..the same pain but more intense ... So I stopped taking them and it took almost a month to get back to normal pain wise for me. So was wondering ... Is it not the statin but the artificial reducing of cholesterol that cause the muscle pain? [/QUOTE]
