You need to get a new doctor, too.

I just made a reply to you and it ended up in cyberspace somewhere.
Like you I took Zocor, only I was on it for about 10 years and before it killed me I decided to do some research, found out just how dangerous all of those class of drugs can be, and since my doctor wasn't going to listen I had to find the answer for myself. After and exhaustive 8 months of research, I found an all natural, safe, clinically proven solution to correcting the cholesterol levels and its even in the Physicians Desk Reference. I have been taking it since July 7, 2008 and wouldn't think of stopping. I have great energy, my bowel functions are finally normal, and it's just a creamy orange drink I take twice a day before I eat. There are NO side effects, except I've also managed to lose some weight in the process. I have turned so many people on to it and it is making such a profound difference in their lives. If you would like more information, contact me at schapkis@aol.com and in the subject line use my

firstmate, Thanx for taking the time to post your symptoms. Cholesterol is vital to bodily function. Cholesterol is the building blocks to cells. Cell walls depend on cholesterol for their structural strength, just like the walls of your house depend on those 2x4 studs. Your body manufactures all its steroid hormones from LDL cholesterol. And sun shines on cholesterol in the skin layers to make vitamin D. Cholesterol forms the fatty insulation layer on nerves for smooth nerve transmission, and is vital to your brain for cognitive function. I find it very interesting that those on the financial receiving end of the cholesterol lowering money machine NEVER talk about the physiology of cholesterol.

Check lipitor and simvastatin on this web site they are the same class of medicines. I've no doubt it is the zocor causing your problems. Try taking COQ10 capsules but make sure you get the Kaneka brand ubiquinol not ubiquione it's 3 - 500% better. Best 4 your health from New Zealand
