Statin: cholesterol lowering drugs
Especially reactions such as neck pain, arthralgia and myalgia
I can't tolerate statins. pain levels went through the roof. I have tried a few different ones all with same effect, hope dietary changes work. my last test cholesterol coming down 💜🦋
I don’t know I have never tried them. I don’t understand why they didn’t find any kind of pain medication that would help me.
yes, but doctor says I need to lower my cholestral. I am thinking on trying out something herbal....
Yes! Cannot tolerate them at all. Severe leg cramps/ terrible, terrible pain.
I take a low dose of Ezetimibe once daily and Repatha injection once every 2 weeks.The other Statins made my fibro worse. My Total cholesterol was over 250 I take CoQ10 supplement 200mg daily.
They increased my fibro pain 1000 fold. I stopped taking them. Made my doctor mad but then I just changed my diet to get my cholesterol under control. He stopped pestering me.
I read a research article about how statins mess with CoQ10 and this can have an impact on fibro. I felt justified in stopping it after that. That's my experience.
No just no response to pain medication. It didn’t even work at all.
