Hi
My OH had a cholestrol test a while back and the result was 8. He was put on statins and a virtually 'no fat' diet, which he has been on for 2 and a half months now. My concern is that he already has Parkinsons Disease so burns a lot of calories and since taking the statins and being on the diet he has lost even more weight. He also complains of vivid dreams and has no energy and has muscle aching. I am worried because he can't afford to lose more weight. Has anyone else had experience of these drugs? Can you come off them if you reach a 'normal' cholestrol level? Is there an alternative? Grateful for any advice.
