  • I am hoping to do better this round than the last-we will see
  • @cory17 Statins can deplete the mitochondria in some people. In my case, it did not first affect my muscles (which is what is normal in those cases) but it affected my nerves-which is why most doctors poo-pooed my complaints. I finally went to a research doctor who agreed the damage was from the Statins. My cholesterol is…

  • @SModa61 There are two reasons (I know of) why people are put on Statins 1) high cholesterol and 2) high blood pressure. When looking at total cholesterol, it is best to check the LDL (e.g. Bad) and HDL (good cholesterol). Since my Total has always hovered around 350, doctors always want me on Statins. When recently on…
  • @deepwoodslady Doctors do not like to take people off Statins once on, especially if it is also used for high blood pressure. However, many people like myself were on 5 mg of Statins only to later find out that 5mg every other day had the same results, lowering the side effects. If your friend is on Statins, make sure she…
  • @deepwoodslady you might want to check your friend's medicine. I know many older people take medicines (such as Statins) that cause weakness in their muscles, and they are unable to have the strength to walk-I speak from experience. If there is a swimming pool nearby, you might get her to try light swimming which also…
