Cardiovascular system symptoms and conditions

I stumbled onto this website just today looking for information on another drug. Little did I know what I was going to find and so happy I did. I have been taking Zocor for nearly 5 yrs. now. My health has taken a spiral downhill. I too, have been experiencing almost every symptom that has been mentioned. Rt. shoulder pain, hand pain, pain and tingling in hands and feet, leg cramps, muscle weakness, numbness, memory loss, itching, fuzzy headed at time, can't concentrate, and trouble breathing. My doctor has told me my cholesterol is just fine the last two times I've had my checkup, but has never suggested I come off it. I guess I will be calling him tomorrow.

I have had a noticable increase of dryness of my skin and vaginal dryness to the point of pain during intercourse. I also seem to run a little hotter, feeling the heat greatly. I am small, so that is not the reason the heat is getting to me.

My muscles also ache and I am now taking Taurine (from the health food store) and that seems to be helping. My blood pressure also seems to be going up. No hair loss, no weight gain. Guess there is something good here.

Question for All: I Worry that my cardiovascular system may be affected by this continued blockage of estrogen in my body. The heart is a muscle, therefore how do the muscle aches, my increased blood pressure and the health of my heart implicate femara and is it doing more harm to my body than the femara is helping me stop any cancer. I Was on Tamoxifen for almost 5 years. Now have been on Femara since Mar. 06

My mother had high cholesterol and was on several med's trying to lower it. They at times worked but she also had side effects. My sister was introduced to a company called Young Living Essential Oils. At first she was skeptical like everyone is, but she tried it anyway. She ordered Mineral Essence, Super Cal, and Helichrysum oil for my mother. Helichrysum is a chelator that lowers and regulates cholesterol and reduces blood clotting. You just rub the oil on the bottom of your feet once in the morning and then again before you go to sleep. You also take it in a capsule. You buy the empty capsules from you local store and put about 9-10 drops in one. Magnesium acts as a smooth muscle relaxant and supports the cardiovascular system. It acts as a natural calcium channel blocker for the heart and dilating the heart blood vessels. Mineral Essence and Super Cal are great sources of magnesium. Super Cal comes in a capsule. Mineral Essence comes with a dropper. You just put five dropper fulls of it in a glass of juice or water. I use it every morning before I lift weights. It gives me energy by moving the blood and it makes it so my muscles do not get sore. By the way, all of these are organic with NO SIDE EFFECTS. Y.L. sells nothing but 100% pure organic therapeutic grade A essential oil. Not the junk you by in the stores.

With in one week my mothers blood pressure was normal and she has been that way ever since. That was 9 yrs ago. Since that time my entire family has been hooked on Young Living products. My sister is even now a corporate trainer for them. We swear by their products. That is just one case out of thousands that I have heard and seen about Y.L. correcting an illness. We now do not take any man made drugs. You can see why. They also have lots of great products for muscle pains weaknesses, and everything else you could want. If you would like more info let me know. I can tell you where to get it and how to get the cheapest price. I am just taking time to write this because I know how it is to see someone suffer and then feel like there is nothing more you can do. But guess what, there is!

Thanks
