Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 My mother, who also has HypoT was prescribed Statins when she was first diagnosed as she had elevated cholesterol levels, she has been on them for about 7 years, but for quite some while was complaining of pains in her body especially her right arm. I did tell her that taking statins might give her muscle pains as this is what I have read else where on the net and heard from other people, her g.p. has never discussed with her about coming off of these drugs. Anyway she decided to stop taking them over a week ago as these pains in her body were getting so bad, the good news is that now she has stopped taking these drugs she has had no pains in her body for nearly two weeks and has increased energy and feels so much more happier and healthier. I think it is better to have a lower cholesterol diet than to take unnecessary medicines, they always have side effects which might make you ill with something else, I always think the 'natural' way is best to cure your body. I have also read on the files about statins, it is very interesting and informative and necessary to know about. Thanks. Ann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
