Hi,

here are a few informed and responsible articles regarding Statins – I do not presume to advise as I feel this is a decision you must make led by your Consultant and/or Doctor.

Suffice to say my medics have managed to keep me alive for 20 years of cancer and since my major Heart Attack 19-Nov-2012 and I take my prescribed drugs regularly including 80mg Atorvastatin, 5mg Bisoprolol LA25 of Elantan, 1.25mg Ramipril & 75mg of dispersable Asprin each day!

JUST CLICK on the titles below for more information: Personal Health Weighing the Pros and Cons of Statins By JANE E. BRODY Statins are often given to healthy people to prevent a potentially devastating problem, so some patients object to taking them. The New Old Age You’re Over 75, and You’re Healthy. Why Are You Taking a Statin? By PAULA SPAN It’s not clear that statins prevent first heart attacks and strokes in older patients, and the drugs do have side effects that can be harmful. Are Statin Side Effects ‘All in Our Heads’? By NICHOLAS BAKALAR Muscle pain and other common side effects of statins may be influenced by psychological factors. Having Heart Surgery? Don’t Stop Your Statins By NICHOLAS BAKALAR Patients who continued to take the cholesterol-lowering drugs on the day of surgery had a 48 percent reduced risk of dying in the next 30 days. Well Can Statins Cause Diabetes? By RONI CARYN RABIN Numerous studies have shown that cholesterol-lowering statin drugs are linked to a small increase in the risk of Type 2 diabetes, even as they reduce the risk of heart attacks.

If YOU want to follow my fight against Cancer from when it started and I first presented with symptoms in 1998 see The TAB at the Header of this Blog. called >DIARY of Cancer ….< just click and it will give you a long list of the main events in chronological order, many linked to specific blog postings. . Later in the sequence of my experiences with cancer you will note that I introduce some results and events most probably linked with cancer such as enlarged & damaged Prostate and a consequential Heart Attack leaving me with no right coronary artery! . I have also included numerous articles and anecdotes regarding health – primarily related to cancer, prostate and heart conditions – FYI! . Thoughts, articles and comments will be in chronological order in the main blog and can be tracked in the >ARCHIVE< in the Left Sidebar. . You may find the TABS >MEDICAL LINKS< and also >CANCER LINKS< of help, also many of the links in articles and >HOT LINKS< in the Sidebar.

YOU are welcome to call me, minded that I am NOT medically trained, if you believe I can help you in ANY way. .
