[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 76910, member: 16042"] With your elevated cholesterol history, your situation is very different than mine, almost opposite, so take this only as one guy's story. I have never had significantly high cholesterol, nor other risk factors except chronic stress and borderline low HDL. But, after having exercise induced angina, had a big stent placed for a 95-98% occlusion of the LAD artery, and was put on statins at that time. I ended up with a statin nightmare, mainly slow insidious muscle loss/wasting/pain/weakness/fatigue and some liver SxS prior to a major overall health crash including being diagnosed with low T and hypocholesterolemia. 3 weeks after discontinuing the Lipitor, I still tested with remarkably high CK-CPK. I believe this event led to undermining production of hormones in my body due to the lack of cholesterol as a building block, plus other potential factors from the statin damage. It has been long term, 2 1/2 years now, and I have not recovered exercise capability and recovery. Has been an ongoing struggle for pretty meager results. So in my case, apparently statins were a bad choice. Still waiting to sort out the hormone woes. Only a month until consultation ("only" spoken with a bit of sarcasm.) [/QUOTE]
