I get these painful cramps in both legs the back of my legs above...

This is a classic side effects of this dangerous drug. The drs. and the drug co's have a HUGE racket for the anti-cholesterol drugs. They make the big bucks and we suffer with the big side effects. I suggest that you stop taking this poison. There are many natural products and alternatives to control cholesterol . . . if necessary.

Your side effects are not unusual.

I remember my mothers cramps but that was long before I realised what statins can do to you.

Are you sure that high cholesterol is the reason for heart problems?

There are other views - but you have to know where to look for them. I found them little by little - over the years.

Here are som www-sites and books that might interest you.

Side effects of this kind of drugs (=statins) can come at once - or after many years. Are often diagnosed as something else - or old age.

Also read the stories for Zocor (=Simvastatin) and other statins. They all have similar side effects.

Google "Stopped our statins".
Under "print articles" you will find an interesting article from Weston Price Foundation

The great Cholesterol Con (Anthony Colpo)
The cholesterol myths (Uffe Ravnskov)
Overdosed America (John Abramson)
Malignant Medical Myths (Joel F. Kauffman)
The truth about the drug companies (Marcia Angell)

I could make a very long, and scary, list of side effects that I have seen in people close to me.

Besides that, I have heard many stories - a lot of people seem to be totally unaware of the side effects/risks - and so are many doctors.

You have to look out for yourself.
It`s your body and you know best how you feel.

Have you thought of who makes most medical studies??????

Undoubtly statin poisoning. Go to spacedoc dot net he now has remedial information on his site. You will also learn cholestrol has nothing to do with sudden heart attacks. Make sure your adverse effects are filed with the FDA to help protect other innocent victims. Best for your recovery.
