Q: Statin Drugs And Arthritis

WITHOUT TRYING TO BE AN ALARMIST or over-simplifying, am curious as to how many, if any, of those of you who frequent this site are users of the Statin cholesterol-reducing drugs.

Lipitor had me virtually immobilized in April, I was diagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis (fortunately brought under control with prednisone.

Anyone else out there?

Thanks.
