Concerned about my weakening muscles and a general feeling of fatigue, I decided to stop my statin intake last August, 2014. Although my cholesterol levels became borderline, my strength and overall quality of life improved dramatically. I play softball, tennis, pickleball, and golf and feel great! I stopped statins after talking to three Village residents, who were diagnosed by their doctors as being cholesterol sensitive and taken off the medications.
Three references that you may want to check out that helped me with my decision to STOP statins follow:
