What link didn't work... the YouTube?

The others work when I click on them again.

Anyway...statins have been shown to increase risk of hemorrhagic strokes. Any small statistical improvement for ischemic strokes , is offset by their numbers for hemorrhagic events.

The numbers are not great on either side of this question.

Zocor is one of the most lipophilic statins, so watch for CNS side effects. It is good that you take the CoQ-10 already... you might need a higher dose with the statin. Statins block the synthesis of CoQ-10 in the liver.

It is your decision after all.
This is my post on the Peripherial Neuropathy subforum:

Also watch for neuropathy.

This link gives the pros and cons in numbers...it reflects a more recent meta study:

This is the study from Canada, in 2007 on women:

Basically success or need by women is questionable.

So be very watchful for any side effects. Take care.
