Unless you have incredibly high risk factors (e.g., diabetic + smoker + hypertensive), quit for a few weeks. These drugs act over years, and skipping a few weeks won't hurt. If is makes a difference, quit forever.

Nerve damage inflicted by statins can affect any area of the body that has nerve tissue. Nerve damage from statins is very well known among the medical community. When a physician tries to blame statin induced neuropathy on something else, that means they are being paid to "look the other way" upon hearing complaints from patients. 10 years on 80 mg? Thats about $10,000 bucks.

After taking Zocor for 10 years and a few substitutes in between (by the way landed me in the ER twice thinking I was dying )
The doctor told me that the crap stays in your system for 36 hours, so if I wanted to take it every other day it was fine. However, the muscle pain and weakness, lethargy, forgetfulness, NO LIBIDO, led me to a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia of all things. The funny thing is, in July I came across a natural, clinically proven, in the PDR product that would lower my LDL, raise my HDL, lower blood sugar levels, stop the glucose/insulin
yo-yoing that causes us to store fat instead of burning it for energy and my life had taken a profound turn for the better. In August I chucked the Zocor had a total cholesterol of 144, LDL: 72, HDL:54
To top it off I lost 17 pounds because my cravings went away, so I didn't really have any dietary changes except for the fact I just didn't want to eat as much and my sweet tooth took a hike. When I looked into the company further I realized that for $40 I could become a distributor and could purchase any of their products for wholesale, making for a considerable savings, so that is where I stand today. Don't take my word for it, check it out for yourselves. There are 2 products that will achieve these results: Bioslife Slim, and Bioslife Complete. They are a powder you mix with water to make an orange drink twice a day. It doesn't get an simpler than that. This company is a class act with the highest grade ingredients available today and the only natural solution that is proven to work. Please check out my website and see for yourself. Any questions, email me, call me, I want to help. My muscle pain and weakness is not totally gone, as Zocor has damaged me, but, I've got my energy back, and the residual pain is just a reminder that I will never go back on those horid drugs again. Thanks and the best of health to all of you.
