    If your doctor pushes statins, leave immediately. He will be of no help to you.

    Loss of memory here. Please be aware of this. It took me a year and a near depression before I tracked it back to statins
  • @nancyhoward2876
    I had terrible diarrhea. No way was I going to keep taking it. I'm not taking drugs that damage my body. Here's to good diet, exercise, and supplements. I'm in my mid 80's.

    they directly (not side effect) cause rhabdomylosis, diabetes, liver damage, and dimentia. its why you have to get bloodwork done every 3 months while taking them. the warnings tell you to immediately ingorm your physician of any muscle pain, changes in urination, and/or memory issues. oh, yeah they cause heart attacks and strokes. they cause cell death (muscle pain) by interfering with the mevalonate pathway.

    So nice to see doctors who are friendly for once. I saw a doctor recently and felt like I was on trial 😂 He barely acknowledged I existed in the room, never once even made eye contact with me. Hope you guys know your nice demeanor is something patients really appreciate.

    Why risk starting a med that causes health issues you don’t have now.
  • @johnjohng668
    They are horrible. I would NOT KEEP TAKING THEM. IVE SEEN 3 cases where it ruined a loved one’s health.
  • I was prescribed a statin and the muscle cramps where horrible. Then was changed to another statin and same thing happened. So now, i dont take anything.
  • Well, funny this should come on today!!!! I have been on stir a statin for quite some time!!! And my thigh muscles are crap! Have been for a long time!!! And I hear cholesterol is good for us!!!! So I am stopping them today!!! Thank you very much!!!! Tongue in cheek!!!

    Ummmm...I hate to break it to you, but statins can also cause killer headaches and dizziness. That's why I can't take them. Instead, I lowered my cholesterol through diet and exercise (yoga, walking, and strength training). A high green, low fruit smoothie with 1/4 c of flax seeds twice a day, a gallon of water, and a giant salad but no oil, sugar, or animal products took mine from 252 to 149.

    My cholesterol was a little high so my cardiologist prescribed me statins. I literally couldn’t walk, I’m only 27. I told my doctor and he said to his nurse right in front of me “take a note that the patient is non compliant and has a risk of heart attack and stroke.” I refused to take them, I haven’t had any heart problems.
  • God bless you guys. I lost a loved one to this drug. Tnx for sharing
  • @kateharrop4905
    I eat cucumbers and the skins and kale, no side effects. All my numbers are low. I don't take cholesterol meds.
