Re: Question on Statins

I reacted to Simvastatin at first (joint aches) but the GP suggested I tough it out before trying another statin (Pravastatin). Sure enough after a few weeks the discomfort stopped. No other side-effects AFAIK.

I dropped from 6.4 to 4.2 over a year, and it's been hovering around that level for years now.

Incidentally, I was put on statins because my younger brother had a heart episode. And no lipides test before I was put on them!
