Yo mate as well as the statins which I started on first my godforsaken clown had me on accuril and Betalok than followed digestion gout sleeping pills premature hip replacement that's taken 12 months to get over because me joints & muscles buggered by the statins. But hows this? all medicines get chucked in a blaze of glory, now this is from a fella that had ever been to a doctor,before he started to "be responsible" for his health, I buy my own BP meter load up on fish oil and COQ10 (kaneka brand don't bother with other brands) within 3 months no arithmyia at all, BP 106/ 70 pulse 45 at 6.30 am B4 I get out of bed. I can only say I'm pleased my bloody clown of a GP was my GP if he was my anethisist I'd still be asleep on the table. If I forget my fishoil and COq10 I notice it and if I get any palipaptations some extra oil and coq10 fixes it every bit as good as betalok. What are these guys on? Some of them make politicians and financial advisors look sensible and honest. CYa
