As I mentioned in yesterday’s thread, my mother just passed at 102 after nearly 30 years on statins, and would have lasted longer if not for the fall and broken hip. But not everyone can tolerate statins.
I tried different brands, but gave me awful muscle cramps and could barely walk.
I couldn’t take lipitor in the 90’s, extreme muscle pain, but have been on lovastatin for 20 years with no other effects than a perfect lipid panel every year.
