[QUOTE="mshumph, post: 901934, member: 195960"] Don't mean to hog the conversation, but one more issue. First, my doctor is new to me. My doctor of 30 years retired. He, of course, knew me quite well. I do all I can to avoid taking medications due to my sensitivity to them. This doctor really scared me over my high triglycerides. Talked me into taking statin drugs. The first one really made me sick. She swore it wasn't the drug because I had only taken it for 3 days. I think it was because I know my body. So she gave me one with a lower dose, so she said. It is Lovastatin. I've been on this for several months. I have not felt the same since taking this drug. I drag myself through my daily routines. I feel weak and can barely make it to and through my workouts. This is so unlike me since exercise is so much a part of my life. I know it's this drug. I just sent her an email and asked her if I can be taken off this drug. I think I'll feel better without it. Has anyone else had problems with the statin drugs? Would love hearing others experiences with it, good or bad. [/QUOTE]
