Re: Anyone Suspect Statin Mytosis??? Any Therapy Suggestions??

[Guest guest]

Statins are on the Medical Alert list - they can cause muscle damage.

Ideas are trying something naturally - see

search our Archives for 142 posts on statins, research and what others

Hi...Oh yes I was very bad on that stuff. So was my poor dad but at the time I

didn't, know what was causing it. Both of us could hardly function especially my

shoulders and other parts of my body...I think that's why I'm in a chair

today..also one valve of my heart is bad. Just try to prove it...it was all

blamed on CMT.

I hate pill pushing docs that have no concern for one with CMT and won't bother

to see what it is.

I wonder how can they give people these bad drugs ruin ones health and get by

with it.

I thought I was dieing ....and I think I was.

I have since gained most of my shoulder strength back and can comb my hair

now...but my dad could hardly feed himself or shave!

There is a number of meds I can't take.........But when I told the doctors I

thought it was the meds. They didn't want to hear of that and still don't!

When I stopped taking the stains it was very dramatic change, I felt like a new

person....I don't trust much of anything when it comes to meds and docs that

won't hear me out...it took a big chunk out of my life and my dad's.......I

watch my diet I'm very strict about that!

Geri,

I'm sorry that you and your Father suffered so much.

I'm so happy that you had a positive change after you stopped taking the

statins. Was it a while before you notices change, or right away?

My Dad has been off Lipitor for only a few weeks.  I'm hoping he'll feel much

better soon.

Thanks very much for your info!

It took about a mo. before I saw a real change.in my shoulders and feeling more

like me. I was so tired all the time. I would fall asleep anywhere. One time

when we stopped for gro. I stayed in the car of course I feel asleep. Two small

boy were staring at me when Russ came out of the store...They thought I was

dead. My head was back and my mouth was wide open...How embarrassing LOL.I

didn't have enough ambition for anything.

I'm so much better but it has taken awhile..It has been two years now and I also

was on them for a long time I'm 67. I watch my carbs,salt and sugars...eating

lots of veg, small amount of meat and fruit.

Hard for me to believe what pharmaceuticals and docs are handing out to people.

How is it affecting your dad?

Blessing to you and your dad

Keep me posted
