MEDS! Finally, my husband read his doctor the riot act.

65. Statins

I recently cold turkey quit Lovastatin without tell my doctor. I was put on it three years ago. Approximately 2.5 years ago I started having problems with muscle and nerve pain. After 5 Mris, numerous xrays and tests I have been told tumors in spine nerve endings but that should cause the pain. Have a pill. Wait try this Kenalog shot in your spine. Horrible side effects. Research 2012 Kenalog should not be used in shot to spine by FDA and drug manufacturer. Horrible side effects.
I got p.o. Started thinking what changed about 2.5 years ago? Statins. Yes they cause muscle pain, nerve pain and muscle breakdown. Also q-10 depletion. Also don't take antibiotics with Stations. What? What? Hello Doctors?
It has been over three weeks. I take Q-10 and no statins. Guess what? My energy level, mental alertness is getting nice. Muscle and nerve pain has greatly improved.
So that is my story. I believe Statins will be the biggest hoax ever produced they the pharmaceutical companies. I even received a letter from my insurance company concerned I had not filled my Lovastatin and my health was at risk. Oh no. The big drug company losing a customer.
Anyone who wants to tan my hide for this go ahead.
I was told in 1998 I was dying. Hospice. Colostomy. Chemo 24 hours for six months. Radiation.
Guess what. I am still alive. Overweight.
