I guess we'll be seeing new posters here trying to figure out why they have PN...after a few months of their new statin.

There is a new big push for statin use, even when levels may be well within range! CNN is running this story on their news show every hour.

May seem odd coming from me, since I personally still take a small dose, because I have CAD, stroke history, and autoimmune disease (which is actually a worse risk factor then diabetes, CAD, and high LDL combined). But my doctor & I decided to use the lowest dose possible (which is much lower then recommended).

But it is sad that they now want to push these on many more then ever before.
