I can really understand how you feel. Not because I have experienced the same myself. I have never taken statins and never will.
But I had a very close friend who did. He, like you, were diagnosed with one thing after the other, for instance reumatism. It started many years ago and it was only in 2004 I realised that the best thing that you can do for yourself and the people around you is to read different books and visit a lot of sites on the Internet. But always find out who is behind the information. Could be drug companies for instance.
My friend had a whole lot of different symptoms which I suspect had to do with his statin medication. I have told his story many times and I suppose if you look for my signature - Swedish - you can find my comments.
Please visit "Stopped our statins". Under print articles there is an interesting article from The Weston Price Foundation. It`s about the different statin studies and about different side effects.
It`s not just statins that can cause trouble. Even OTC-drugs can give you problem if you use them too often and in the wrong way. So, please be careful.
I probably will stop taking them myself now I have had severe headaches for at least 5 weeks now. I put it down to the rose wine.Pat Bailey Halesowen West Mids
