I have read all of the symptoms on this page and have many of them. I too was on all of the statins but had to stop due to terrible muscle aches, pain and fatigue. This is my second attempt at Welchol and the same as before lower back and hip pain, foot pain, lethargy and trouble sleeping. Dr said not absorbed by the body so no side effects, B.S. I also had a strange bout of anemia before, I'll bet it was the Wechol then too. I'll take my chances with the Cholesterol I can't live like this. There must be something else we can take?

my doctore wrote me a perscription for Welchol but after reading up on the side effects, i will not take it. They never tell you about the negatives!
My hdl is 68 and my ldl is 237. I can't take the statins. I am trying Cholest-off now...if that doesn't work, I will just have to live with it I guess.
