A question: Can statins interfere with thyroid issues? I started statins 10 weeks ago, and my thyroid changed from underactive to overactive.

I will ask for the millionth time, why not just give everyone statins and save millions of lives?

I do have hand pains. When I take my statins I feel something flares. However I also feel the same on chondroitin sulfates for joint pain.

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 ?
