I am male 37 years old. In June 2007, my blood test shows 249 total cholesterol. After that, I was taking super B-complex, fish and flax seeds pills. It went down to 213 total cholesterol (40 HDL, 136 LDL and TRI 176). And I asked my family doctor to give prescription for Zocor(I asked particular drug because I will get good discount rate at my employer's place). he gave me Zocor 20 mg. After taking 1-month medication I felt some inconvenience during sex . You don’t feel it normal. I can’t do much exercise and some times feel depressed. I usually do 1-hour exercise or any form of exercise (Yoga). After Two months I tested my blood cholesterol level. It shows now total cholesterol 181(LDL 93, HDL 42 and TRI 223). And also showed ALT and urine protein little elevated. Now I stopped medication for past two days, feeling better at day time but night I am having weird dreams and indigestion problem. I guess these are withdrawal symptoms. I would go for natural medication like regular exercise, diet (oat meal, high fiber content, less sugar, less white rice). No more Statin drugs. Any one have same problem?

I'm 44years old.My last shot was the 8 oh may,a week after that i suffer a Mini Stroke (TIA).The doctors believe it was because of the Lupron.No Doctor want to say that for sure.Before the TIA,I have some of the symptems of many of yours like,fatigue, decreased libido, : cholesterol, triglycerides,migraines,disorientation, memory loss ,hot flashes, sleep disorder,lost vision on my Right eye.
After The TIA,this is what I'm suffering at this time.(The most misleading information given is that the TIAs do not do any lasting damage. They do, believe me. I have done a lot of searching, getting info on TIAs and the cause of them. I have kept a graph of when they occur and their severity. Those affecting the right side of the body leave different problems to those affecting the left .TIAs, they are a slow, destructive condition that badly damage the patients confidence in living normally. I never go out on my own now in case of a TIA.
I describes the feeling as like a rippling sensation over the top of her head, this is quickly followed by loss of feeling in either left or right side. Right side tends to affect speech, giving garbled nonsense instead of normal conversation. These TIAs tend to go quickly and do not cause much damage. Left side TIAs cause the weakness in arm and maybe leg as well, but seem to affect co-ordination and awareness. I Don't know what I'm doing, but can speak normally. These TIAs do have more lasting effects, as she can be "vague" for a couple of days before snapping back. .
And all of that Because of Lupron,Can some one help us Please. ******

The only thing that I have experienced with Tricor is passing gas. And I don't mean now and then, I am talking about the competitive level for some farting contest.
-- By its_david | Reply | Private Message meBut does it do what it is supposed to? So far, nope.....But then beside the 145mg Tricor I am also on Zocor 40 mg and even with that combo, I am still over 300 Cholesterol, Triglycerides at 1200+.
This is kind of a last ditch effort as I have been on all of the strong Cholesterol drugs. Doctors have been alarmed at my 535 cholesterol level and the 3265 triglycerides - as for HDL/LDL who knows where thats at.
Now, everyone say WOW! then I tell you I have been like this for over 15 years. From Omega3, to extreme high doses of Niacin (the kind that makes you flushed badly), Lipitor, Crestor, and others with some that I took multiple pills - Nothing touches me. (Now 9 different drugs and nothing)
Sugar levels under 120 avg., BP 120/72 or less. As for Muscles, no problem. My only real complaint is the farts 24/7. Yes, even in my sleep.
