[QUOTE="lindisfel, post: 1888004, member: 57698"] Hi all, We can get into a real mess as we age and statins, for some of us, makes the final years worse by amplifying failing health. Fraility is a real problem for the elderly. My now deceased sister, older than I, took statins for some years until she was moving round the rooms of her home having to hold on to the furniture because of the pain in her body and legs. Her friend's husband had played concert piano and had at sometime been on statins and found he could no longer play. But he largely recovered after stopping them so told my sister what had happened. She stopped taking them and her movement was much improved but sadly she succumbed to another far worse condition. I am sure her end was not enhanced by statins and too much bp medication. I think we have to be very circumspect about the meds we take and be discerning about the advice we are given. Some of us are not affected by statins at all. D. [/QUOTE]
