Statin Side-effects: Muscle pain and weakness

I've been on statins for the same amount of time with the same issues. I have to lift my legs into a car. Argue with my doctor every year and she brings out a chart showing my cholesterol levels and percentages for having a heart attack or stroke and strongly advises to continue the statin prescription. The graphics are probably provided by a pharmaceutical company.

Thanks for your reply! I’m seeing my cardiologist in December & will ask his advice then my primary in February to ask hers. I’m tired of this!

My cholesterol has been between 276 and 299 for about 17 years. I take no drugs. I have read more than once that people with high cholesterol live longer than those with low. I am 76. and take no drugs nor do I visit the drug pushers as drugs cause worse reactions than the problem.
