@doc4heart: I'm Dr. Michael Richman, a double board certified cardiothoracic surgeon and I explain why statins do not cause peripheral neuropathy and may even protect against it. Stay informed with facts, not fear! For more information or lip consultation, you can go to my website at www.paladinmds.com ##statins##peripheralneuropathy##neuropathy##highcholesterol##nervepain🫀💊
A question: Can statins interfere with thyroid issues? I started statins 10 weeks ago, and my thyroid changed from underactive to overactive.

Thank you for sharing. I am on Rapatha. I am in excellent physical condition and of course concerned about long term use. ( I have been using for one month) I am 75 and have been an athlete my entire life. I go to the gym for 1.5 to 2 hours 4 Xs per week. Hard workouts. Any chance that I may be able to lower my 262 cholesterol with a lower amount of Rapatha ?
