Until my doctor tells me that Statins have selective muscles that

it damages, I will pass. I already have heart muscle damage. I think

if it damages muscles in my legs

and arms, it will damage my heart.

I'd estimate the average age of mortality to be around 72.

So much for progress.

I've been hearing "statins, statins, statins" for my

genetic high cholesterol for the past 20 years. No thanks.

I had an extremely bad experience with statins: vomiting, diarrhea, and very bad muscles' pain. Finally in a hospital the doctors cancelled them. My cholesterol didn't become worse after that :-) Natalia Kamneva 67 Russian F with 2 cm left adrenal adenoma, diabetic; on 100 mg eplerenone, 80 mg Micardis, 2000 mg metformin, 60 mg Dexilant and 2 mg Lorazepam; Dashing; still have some occasional problems with BP, K and Na; on private consultation with Dr Grim.
