Ive been on stains for a couple of years now. They were hailed as the wonder drug not too long ago, there was an article in Readers Digest a while back saying that everyone over 40 should be on them whether they needed them or not. Now the consensus is that they may do more harm than good. I was taking them as my cholestrol was very high, but now its normal to low, so im considering coming off them. I hate taking drugs anyway, but as Im diabetic I dont have a lot of choice, but I am worried about the statins, especially as I have now completely re-educated myself diet wise. Every 3 months I have a liver function blood test as part of my routine diabetic check up and the one before last did show up some liver function problem but that had sorted itself out by the last test and could have been because I picked up a nasty virus back in August. So my Dr has put it down to that. But it does worry me.
