Some people do have bad side effects from them but I have taken them for about 7 years and have never had any problems with them if I ever do I will stop taking them
I too have taken statins for almost 10 yrs without any problems, tho it did take a few weeks at the beginning to get used to them if I remember correctly.
Brilliant, thank you. I've booked marked this and have already read part one, very interesting stuff indeedy.If you really want a headache then check out http://eatingacademy.com. Type 'the straight dope on cholesterol' into the search box. There are 9 parts
Thanks, I'm going to phone on Monday and ask for them. Stupid of me not to get them but I'm one that's easily rolled over.It isn't too late to ask for a print out of your blood results (all of them, not just cholesterol). You really need these so you can make up your mind what to do with all the information in front of you. They will also be useful down the line for comparisons as you will be having these tests regularly for the rest of your life, so very important to know if you are improving or deteriorating.
Doctors like diabetics to have a total cholesterol of under 4, so this will be why statins were pushed on you. As said above, the total cholesterol is meaningless. It is the triglycerides and ratios that are important - and you don't know what these are. So do get a print out.
I read that they destroy all the good cholesterol too. No, think my mind is made up.....I'm not doing them.Statins have been found to increase the risk of developing T2 by 22%. So if you have been diagnosed as prediabetic or T2 since taking them they may well have harmed you, just because you don't have any side effects as stated on the leaflet, doesn't mean the drugs haven't adversely affected you.
In addition I recently read of a report that said that statins don't benefit women at all, so rather than thinking that they are not harming you, are they really doing you any good?
I know it sounds the wrong thing to do but butter is healthier .Thanks for this. Think I'll give them a miss and buy some flora lol. It looks like these things are a bit of a ticking time bomb.
I was diagnosed with a glucose intolerance about 3 years before I started taking statinsStatins have been found to increase the risk of developing T2 by 22%. So if you have been diagnosed as prediabetic or T2 since taking them they may well have harmed you, just because you don't have any side effects as stated on the leaflet, doesn't mean the drugs haven't adversely affected you.
