Got put on the statins 9 months ago. Liver functions have been fine. No side effects. Cholesterol went from 248 to 148 (yup, 100 points). Ratio is fine. Blood pressure is actually low normal. Thus far, I’d vote for it.
Yes, but you are not like me, and millions of others, that have severe side effects from statins. Do you like walking? I do but if I take statins my muscles start going away, luckily I noticed it in time to quit taking them before permanent damage was done. If I am going to die, I want to do it walking. We are all going to die anyway, if you go now or 10 years from now living a lifestyle you hate how is that an improvement? I have a friend, a man I went to HS with that cannot walk at all except to go to the toilet and barely get around his house, this is from statins. He doesn’t go anywhere or do anthing he used to do but he thinks he is ok because his cholesterol is low. I personally will not take them any more.
