Lecithin symptoms and conditions

I never thought I would ever be posting my experience with BC but I think this could be useful to other women worldwide. I have been using Yasmin now for a year and a half and I agree with everyone here at the beginning I felt great, beautiful skin, controlled short term periods, stable weight. My body changed in all the right places. My breast turned a cup larger (I was a 34B) my buttocks got larger and rounder. My boyfriend was enjoying the changes as much as I was!! I thought this was the perfect pill for me and I actually recommend it to all my friends. Things started changing for me about three months ago. I started to feel tired, I use to work out 5 times a week now I can't even work out one. My eyesight started to change, I started getting cramps in my legs at night, my legs started feeling heavy as if I was losing circulation, fast heartbeat, and the occasional migraine to top it all of. Then I found the commercial about the lawsuit on TV and I panicked!! I googled the lawsuit and I found this websi

te and after reading everything here I went straight to my Dr. this afternoon with all my side effects. I am 39 now 18 on diferent types of BC and up until now I have been a very healthy and active person. When I read everything here I was decided to get off thie pill inmediately. But here goes what my Dr. said: (I trust his opinons because he is a friend and has been my obgyn for the last 15 years) " first Yasmin is the best hormone BC on the market, very women has different side effects and giving me another pill wouldn't solve my problem. I could actually get worse. He gave my the option of going of the pills but asked me if I was ready for all the changes that would bring. Weight gain, acne, anxiety, depression etc. Another option he suggested I try was taking an antioxidant complex, omega 3, and lecithin. All natural supplements which he firmly believes will make me feel much better, help my circulation, and minimize the side effects. I will start this treatment tomorrow and stay on the Yazmin for at least another month. PS. My health is in perfect conditions after blood tests and sonograms. thank God!! I will keep everyone posted on my progress. And I hope this is useful to all you ladies. God bless!

Lipitor 20mg
*Muscle deterioration:*
I had to stop taking walks.
*Diarrhea:*
I am sorry to tell my doctor doesn't know how to treat me.
He raised Tenormin to 50 mg a day, and it made a catastrophy. Severe electrical heart problem. Very debilitating. Permanent chest pain. I acted: I reduced it to a minimal level of 12.5 mg a day.
I have stopped Lipitor 20 mg and replaced it with.

Nattokinase
CoQ10 (Ubiquinol)
Cucurma
Lecithin
Omega 3
Magnesium supplements
Very effective!
Above is from science. Lipitor is from business.

Now, all angina symptoms are gone. No more arythmia.
I have also dropped one aspirin a day, and replaced it with Allicin. (Concentred garlic)
I have learn that aspirin is doing the opposite of the expected effect for 40% of people. It is causing a sever eye pathology, macular degeneration, and stomach bleeding. And after many months it has no beneficial effects, only adverse effects.
Garlic has so many positive side effects.

first of all i want to thanks from this side .it is very very helpful ,which is information from this side is truly life saving.no doctors are really believing that cholesterol medication has such horrible side effect,and if this side not exist ,so we would not know that cholesterol medication having this side effect.this side saved my father's life ,he had very severe reaction with lipitor and zetia in Australia called ezetrol .he quit lipitor 2 yrs ago and zetia 4 months ago he is doing very well since 2 days i hope this continue.he recovered from many side effect like(he was almost lost all his hair the front part after stopping the medication 70%restore so this was the first side effect that doctor relates to his age not medication ,severe shoulder pain subside,numbness in his legs subside,tremer in his left leg subside,blurry vision and poor vision subside,poor memory subside) within 2 days he feels more energy improvement in his walking some times it goes up and down and i hope this time his walking improve permanently he is now feeling 60to 70%good and not 100%but this % is quit lot for him after being disable for long time.i pray for all of you to recover fully and so my father .i found 3 thing that is really helping to bring the cholesterol down if interested plz research (turmeric,ginger,garlic)free of side effect .this is natures wonderful drugs for cholesterol plus vitamin c and lecithin.

Very stiff and sore neck, very tired.
All of this talk about lipitor....I am having real problems, and have just now discovered it is caused by lipitor! How I wish I had found your site sooner.
My real problem is triglycerides....lipitor has brough them down from in the 1100 range to a lower but still too high.
I am convinced that lipitor is hurting me very much....but what can I do to control my triglyceride problem. I am taking 1 tab of lecithin daily, and now will start 3000 ml of vit c. What if it all gets out of control again. Help

I was first perscribed 10MG of Lisinopril to treat my high blood pressure of 140/90.I am 56 year old female. On the first day I experienced very high heart rate and pounding ,but my blood pressure came down immediately. After 2 months my blood pressure increased to 135/90 so my doctor increased the dosage to 20MG. After being on the med. for 3 months my eyelashes began falling out and then my hair...It is so bad I decreased the medicine on my own because I was on vacation and then I quit taking any pills. I had read that some vitamins and herbs can lower blood pressure so I am taking them and monitoring my pressure on my own everyday. after a week off medication I can happily say that my blood pressure in the morning is 115/70 and in the afternoon a range of 117/76-124/82.. I hope this continues... Calcium,Garlic and Lecithin are just a few of the vitamins that I am taking. Also my other side effects that I attribute to this drug are a slight dry clough,acne on my nose, runny nose increased heart rate and out of breath when excercising. I don't advise anyone to stop taking their meds , but you might want to look into the possibility of taking vitamins and getting off this drug.

I took Zocor for a week, and felt weird - out of breath and kept awake at night with ringing in ears - I also developed or seem to have developed some sort of arrythmia or palpitation which hasn`t gone away even though I have stopped taking it - I am going to try alternatives ie lecithin and Red Yeast Rice
