I once read that 70% of diabetic will have some form of heart trouble.
Fast forward 15 years. Doctor puts me on statins. I take them until my shoulders are screaming with pain. Tell my doctor “I will not take them anymore.” She replies, “Ok, but you will have a 30% chance of developing heart problems in the next 10 years.”
Hmm, my odds are improving.
My husbands cardio dr put him on statins and said to take CoQ10 to prevent the muscle pain. The way he explained it was that your body naturally makes CoQ10 but the statins hinder this process and that leads to muscle pain. Taking the supplement is supposed to help.
