Hello everyone, please forgive my ignorance and I suppose laziness on this one but I got a call earlier from the gps' about an appointment for tomorrow to discuss my lft and maybe introducing statins.., all I've heard about statins is to avoid them but I don't know why or what it is they're supposed to do and all this is down to is the courses of antibiotics and now steroids that I'm on. I asked both a Dr and a nurse about the doubling, tripling of my blood sugars but they both said "as it's short term sometimes you have to compromise". My query is, is a short term course of statins ok and nothing to worry about or is it another box I tick on my repeat prescription list and have forever?
