I am a 60 yr old woman, and have been on statins for several year...

Linda, I'm a 54 yr male. Was badly dealt to with statins, stopped last Dec and still suffering - BUT - I'm well hell of a lot better and expect in time to fully recover. I was on the crap for 4.5 yrs & like you didn't think it was the medicine causing all my pains, palipatations, agitation, memory loss etc etc. The first 2 - 3 months off the medicine withdrawals were the worst part of this ordeal for me. Linda you need to take coq 10 BUT only take the tishcon hydrosoluable variety called quinogel take 2 - 3 x 100mgs through out the day. I had a 20 - 30 % decrease in pain and the same increase in energy within 3 - 4 weeks it will also help to repair heart damage from the statins. Do your own research also go to spacedoc google, believe me stick to the brand above. Best to you from New Zealand.
