4 months ago I was diagnosed with Statin induced Myopathy. I researched on the topic of statins and the dangerous side effects through the net and corresponded with some caring people with medical backgrounds, whom were very helpful and supportive.They have pointed me in the right direction for the information I was seeking, and gave me encouragement not to give up! EDUCATE YOURSELF ON STATINS FIRST, THEN TALK TO YOUR DR. For anyone interested, I have a list of places to google that you may find helpful. To mention a few... -Adverse drug reaction monitoring -Investigate statins Petition signatures-Go Petition -WHO The safety of medicines -Statins warning out -Drug induced and toxic myopathies ( www.pubmed.gov) -Statins.com -FindArticles-Evaluation of the patient with muscle weakness -Duane Graveline M.D. (or) Spacedoc -RateMDS.com I consider myself very fortunate. I'm able to walk again.The muscle pain and weakness has subsided but not completely gone. I believe at the rate that I'm improving I should be back to my old'self by the time summer rolls around. Oh yeah, and I fired my Doctor. I value my life! ttfn,
