Update..1 week off the simvastatin now. Still not myself, but I am noticing that I have a little more energy. I can go outside again and visit with family and friends. Some days are better than others. I still have terrible pain in my upper right abdomen, and my ankles still really hurt when I walk, right shoulder is still very stiff and sore to move. I hope what ever damage this poison did to my body over the 11 months will get better. I am only 36, and this pill made me feel like all I wanted to do was die! I AM SO MAD at my Dr. Fresh out of med school. I haven't even called for my next appt. yet, I'm worried that I wont be very nice to her at all. How can they give this to people. She never said anything to me about any of these possible side effects. I did a search on FDA and Simvastatin, I can not believe they would allow Doctor's to give this poison, I guess it is all about the money for them, while we the consumers suffer.

I am a victim from taking Lipitor. I stopped taking it 16 mos. ago and still have side effects. I continue to take several natural products to help it. Hopefully, in time we will be better. The drs. and the drug co's are doing a SCAM . . . it's all $$ and we suffer, as you said. VERY SAD. Don't let your dr. to con you. . . .your body/mind needs cholesterol to function.
