Statins: Muscle pain, damage and weakness, Hartke and all in the group.

[Guest guest]

A friend just called who remembered the hell I went through after taking

Vytorin. It basically ruined my physical life. It is has been a constant effort

at Rehabilitation centers, nutrition research, being pro-active to get myself

well. I know people are getting tired of me trying to get the word out. When on

FaceBook I always remind people to do their research before putting a statin in

their body. I LIKEN IT TO TAKING CYANIDE! It was that destructive to my body!

had contacted me some years after reading my post on Web MD, Nov of

2009 I think. I did not PDF THE POST UNFORTUNATELY! 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. I collected beads for 25 years

thinking i would be doing creative projects after retiring! HA! 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! The doctors never did any pre-tests that could be used to compare

before and after results of what the drug did to me. And am astonished at the

damage this drug did to me.

I am working with a nurse who is helping me lengthen the muscles to improve

circulation to the damaged sites. I worked with her on Thursday and we did a

class today for 1 1/2 hours. Much to my dismay, this pain and damage is

irreversible in me. But I keep trying anything to ease the symptoms. And I am on

a CRUSADE TO TELL OTHERS.

I do ZUMBA now, but cannot jump like the other participants. My feet were

totally screwed up by VYTORIN. ANKLES WEAKENED, WRISTS, ELBOWS, NECK, HIPS

compromised. It interrupts my sleep. Took away my earning power. Took away my

body's ability to breathe properly. You name it; it was affected by the

STATINS. I am still angry as heck this was forced upon me. My doctor still

calls and tries to get me on the drugs. I refuse. I will not take a chance on

losing what has taken about 5 years to regain for the quality of my life. And

they are still trying to force this on me.

And remember, Dr. Bearnice Golumb's video on statins. She was at UCLA. THEY WANT

TO PUT STATINS IN THE WATER SYSTEM IN CALIFORNIA so everyone can still eat

Mc's!!!!

Just want to let you know I am still in the game. Please feel free to contact

me. McClure
