[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 893401, member: 160246"] July, when I was younger, and a lot more naïve, I was helped by some medications, but harmed others. Only with the help of a new doctor was I able to understand what happened to me. Today, I'm not anti-medication, but because I personally have suffered harm, I firmly believe in trying lifestyle changes first and giving them enough time to work - (diet, nutritional supplements, exercise, herbs, etc.). Please give us an update now and then. It's important to increase awareness about this problem. One out of five statin users are now having side effects that are impacting their quality of life. And too many doctors are telling their patients that their symptoms are not due to the statin. I continue to question if anyone should take a statin. My best friend started taking a statin last October. She told me two months ago that her hand hand muscles had begun to contract unexpectedly into a claw like position. Shocked, I asked her if she's started a new medication. She had. A statin. After providing her a book on cholesterol, she chose to continue on the statin, which I am respecting. But I got her to take CoQ10, and a high quality multi-vitamin made from organic whole foods. Looks like I also need to get her taking vitamin K2 too. I'm really worried about her. :( [/QUOTE]
