My healthy, active 55 yr old husband of 30 yrs was prescribed SIM...

I'm the same age but endured the pains and the poison for 4 years before everything went pear shaped. Examined for heart attack, went violently insane, had a hip replacement even though all my cartilage was still there, bloody near killed me. I'm posting to warn you that most of my symptoms far worsened before they got better after I stopped the medicine and new symptoms arose. I found high doses of hydrosoluable COQ10 ubiquinol not the cheaper ubiqunone form and quality liquid fish oil soothed my heart far better than betablockers. Vitamin C about 5 - 6000 mgs a day along with some extra water restored the waterworks. I'm 18 months post statin poison I still require morphine but the amounts are lessening. I reckon for myself now 50 50 whether I'll ever fully come right or some pernament damage. Don't hesitate to ask for any help from my 18 months of research. I am positive that without the above supplements I would have croaked and without oxycontin and prednisone I would have suicided. Check spacedoc dot net. I was a boistrous, mischevious, manual working fishing gardening swimming man who loved life before I went to a stinkin bloody doctor to be responsible for my health. Still violently angry and in shock. Your husband has got the vital key that I was and still am lucky to have a solemate wife with out her they would have put me in the bin drugged me up more and I'm sure I would not be here today. marriage sure is a great institution. best to you for your recovery from New Zealand. PS check lipitor and zocor on this site it is all the same family of poison.

I am a victim from this POISON too. I stopped taking it 16 mos. ago. Some of the side effects are getting better since I continue to take natural products, but, the muscle/nerve problems are still there.. . . I am still angry about the drs. and the drug's co. and the SCAM they are doing. Your mind/body needs cholesterol to function. Unfortunately, it is all about $$ and many people suffer. I did complain to the FDA and received a form letter and that's it. VERY SAD.
