[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 298909, member: 44622"] During a discussion on this forum a couple of months ago I Googled for opinions on statins and got this:- [url=http://www.spacedoc.com/why_statins_do_more_harm_than_good]http://www.spacedoc.com/why_statins_do_ ... _than_good[/url] Here is an extract from the article. "People on long-term statin therapy start to notice that their hair is receding faster, they're developing cataracts, they can't hear as well as they used to, they keep forgetting things, they can't open the pickle jar any more, and perhaps they'll need rotator cuff surgery soon, as their shoulders are so sore. They think it's just because they're growing old, but these are all side effects that my research, together with my students at MIT, has uncovered, by comparing statin drug side effects with side effects associated with other drugs in age-matched reviews." I am now quite pleased that I seem to have an allergy to them. I get cramped muscles mostly in the legs to the point where on two occasions I spent a month unable to walk. On another occasion my body slowly went quite rigid such that I could not move my head and I was sent to the physio to sort it out. I am not a fan of statins. I can still remember my name though.
