If they make you feel that bad, do you think they could be good for you? That is some loopy thinking.
I speak as one who cannot tolerate statins. BTW the story is that your risk of a heart attack goes down by 50% if you take statins ....blah, blah, blah ...
Actually, the rest of the story is that certain individuals are thought to have a 3%(+/-) risk of a hear attach WITHOUT statins; and a 2%(+/-) risk WITH statins.
“If they make you feel that bad, do you think they could be good for you? That is some loopy thinking.”
That’s some loopy misquoting, as that’s not what I said. Some people feel zero negative effects from statins, so if that’s your criteria for determining whether something could be good or bad for you, then perhaps they’re good for those people. I’m quite familiar with stats you mentioned, which is why I didn’t follow the doc’s recommendation to try a different kind that didn’t make me feel bad.
