Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi Bobby and the rest of the group - I've been told that my interview about statin side effects (featuring a patient who had severe cognitive dysfunction) will be available anywhere, on line this evening at http://www2.turnto10.com/ Barbar , MD ---- Olson wrote: McClure said: " I feel like we were just one big experiment " I have sometimes wondered that too . Then I shrug it off as nonsense. Then I can't help but start wondering again if we were some big experiment for bio-weapons. Looking back at the big picture of statins, none of it ever made sense. There never was any evidence blocking the mevalonate pathway prevented or reversed heart disease. But science knew very well the value of cholesterol in supporting life. Blocking its production would certainly result in major nerve, muscle, and cognitive problems. Science knew the value of cholesterol back in the 60's. So why did they block this important metabolic pathway?  What was their ultimate purpose? Was it purely corporate greed playing on the public's acceptance of the lipid hypothesis? Or was it something beyond that? Bobby  Alternate email:  marooned@...

Hi! I have a younger sister named Suzanne so I am already endeared to you. It feels so good to be validated. Not everyone gets quadruple whammed from statins.  Vytorin just knocked me for a loop. When it affected my memory was the worst. I miss my brain the most. I would rather take the sudden, hopefully final heart attack than live with the repercussions of taking Vytorin. My twins are raised, my job as a mom is done. My husband is diabetic & had pretty low cholesterol and they put him on statins. I begged him to not take them. He balked. Until he was getting ready for foot surgery, & he had to go off them; then he could feel what the drug did to him. Why some people suffer more than others is beyond me & the doctors. I feel like we were just one big experiment. It makes me so sad. I will be sad forever until someone, like a lawyer takes a statin and is well enough to take the drug companies to court. Not for $$$ so much as prompting them to acknowledge the damage, have Dr.s do the proper b4 testing so we have a benchmark to analyze the changes & damage, tell people how much CoQ10 they have to take, which my doctor never mentioned, prepare people for what can happen to them. Not just in a casual TV commercial. Some drugs cause people's jaws to come unhinged! Just a casual mention on a TV ad. It is not a casual problem to the person who has to deal with the damage the rest of their life. If I could un-ring a bell I would. How many are suffering in silence, never to be heard? But at least some of my friends now know to call me when they feel the horrible results of statin therapy. So, Suzanne, keep me posted! I pray you a miracle! I need one, too. McClure  >Hi , you wrote: " ANKLES WEAKENED, WRISTS, ELBOWS, NECK, HIPS compromised. It interrupts my sleep. Took away my earning power.

This is to let you know I am going to be 60 this year and have never recovered the full use of my upper arms (feels like rotator cuff). I have great difficulty doing anything that involves reaching up. Like getting something out of my closet, picking up babies, changing light bulbs, cleaning the house that involves reaching up above my core or reaching down below my core. I cooked my first full recipe yesterday. It has taken years to become functional. I basically gave up and isolated myself rather than have to explain over and over what did this to me. Statins are like a GATEWAY to your future diseases because it unlocks the key to future illnesses you would not get for 15-20 years in the future. I suddenly got ARTHRITIS IN MY HANDS. BIG CYSTS ON MY PINKY FINGERS THAT REQUIRED SURGERIES. BOTH PINKY FINGERS ARE LAYING DOWN ARTHRITIS deposits very quickly.

The joke was on me! >> >> So if you still have a copy of that Web MD post which they will no longer allow us access to; please copy it and post it to the site. I have a copy, but it is not digital. You had contacted me soon after my post to possibly do an article on my progression of the damage. I lived in Vail, CO, was a downhill skier, climbed mountains, rode bicycles, could do jumping jacks, could cook and clean the house easily. Upon ingestion of the drug all of this was taken from me. I contacted a Vytorin lawyer and they were only taking DEATH AND LIVER FAILURE PATIENTS. Because I didn't take it until I died I am really screwed!
