I am a hill walker. My name is Steve and I am 58 years old. I hav...

Today, I just posted the following information:

"Lastly, I'm back to feeling normal, after I "demanded" my physician switch me to generic Pravastatin 40mg (2 tabs a day - 80mg), manufactured by Teva Pharmaceutical - corporate HQ Israel with manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania. By the way, a 90-day supply of this quality controlled drug is available at Walmart Pharmacy for $10. "

I would encourage you to make sure your Generic Pravastatin is not from India or China, but from the aforementioned pharmaceutical company.

Hi,
I also am a keen walker and up till six months apart from slightly rised BP and occasionally slight palpations I felt fine. my doctor wanted to put me on Simvastatin 40 mgs because of my family history . After taken them a few weeks I was feeling so ill I wondered what was wrong with me I couldn't even walk to the local shops from muscle aches to very tight feeling in my chest and awful palpations I though I would never feel right again." I was on them six months and now feel that was too long"
I took my self off them four weeks ago and have been to see my doctor he stills wants me to take statins but waiting to hear the results of my blood test he has mentioned putting me on provastatin ,but like you I am not sure I want to take any again.
After four weeks feeling better than I did ,but still not like my old self I will have to really think about it.
