I m Asian 5ft 5, started on simvastatin 3 wks ago cause doctor ad...

Get a new doctor and stop taking simvastatin!

Statins are dangerous drugs and can cause MANY side effects . . . the drs. and the drug co's are doing a HUGE racket on the anti-cholesterol drugs . . . it is all about big $$ business In reality, your mind/body needs cholesterol to function properly. Don't let your dr. to con you.

Unbelievable but common.

It is NOT normal to encounter such fatigue cramping and numbness. These are common side efects from statins. You are too youing and have the rest of your life ahead of you. Take charge of your health, and don't just lay down and do everything a doctor says just because she is a MD. Think for yourself by carefully weighing the risks and rewards BEFORE taking any medication.

By the way, MD no longer stand sfor "Medical Doctor." It now stands for "Marketing Direct" Sales goals is the reason you were prescribed this medication.
