I’ve been taking Rosuvastatin for the last six months or so. I thought there might be some side effects, but so far there haven’t been any, and the doctor has been pleased with my blood results.
 
Was going to tell you guys that take a statin to take CoQ10. It helps put all the good back into you that the statin takes away.

I’ve been on Simvastatin daily for over 10 years. No side effects and works well to kept my numbers in the normal range. I recommend. Lipitor I think has more dude effects so know there are alternatives if you have unpleasant side effects
 
My father in law had a really bad clotting issue, he is on blood thinner and Lipitor. All of his numbers and check ups since the stents, blood thinner and lipitor have been much better and he feels really good. Its probably one of those things that will vary person to person

I don’t know about all that, but I take it anyway. I figure it can’t hurt.
 
About 20 years ago my doc put me on a statin. Not long after I had muscle aches. Over the years I tried others as they came out. Same deal. CoQ 10 didn't do anything except to drain my wallet. At the age now I could care less what my cholesteral is.

Aortic. I actually pm'd you when you first shared what you were facing offering to talk by phone but didn't hear back which is fine. But I shared me experience on that thread. I had no issues and my tissue valve turns 16 on jan. 15
They guessed a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.

I also had an aortic valve replacement maybe 12 years ago, and 8 years before that I had my ascending aorta replaced with dacron due to an aneurysm. I asked for a tissue valve but woke up with a St. Jude. Doc said my first surgery was at such a young age that my heart healed back way better than the old folks that usually have open heart, and that I had severe scar tissue that would make a 3rd open heart very difficult. I've been on paravastatin since my second surgery with no side effects that I'm aware of. I drink a good bit at night so I've never been one who wakes up feeling like a million bucks anyhow.

An ascending aortic aneurysm, particularly at a younger age, is not typical. Was the underlying pathology identified/addressed? I have a friend with MFS and know some folks who study aortopathies. It’s a challenging area from a basic science perspective.
