I agree! My doctor insisted I try one, so I did.. one pill. lowest dose. Got terribly sick for 24 hours, delerious and in pain. My first husband was very healthy but decided to do what his doctor said. He went on statins and then shortly after died. heart attack.

@maryflorida As you know the body is a very complicated system of all sorts of interactions. Your post on reactions to Statins does not establish a "cause and effect or symptoms" relationship for the use of Statins. There are many statistical studies with hundreds of patients that try to establish what are the most frequent side effects of statins vs the real therapeutic benefits. You may find this Study in the UK interesting.. I must say that I take Statins and I do think there are side effects. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/11/201115185935.htm

@maryflorida @johnbishop there is a short article in a Scientific American that gives some cautions for further investigation.. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-statins-produce-neurological-effects/#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20adverse%20effects,and%20greater%20irritability%20and%20aggression.
