Absolutely! Your symptoms are classic statin poisoning symptoms. Your LDL of only 46 is a problem too. LDL, which is not really cholesterol, but rather a protien, carrys cholesterol from your liver to your body all the way to your finger tips and toes. It does this so cholesterol can do its job in maintaining cell structure, making repairs, maintaining nerve function, forming steroid hormones, etc. The greenland eskimos have an LDL of 170 and they have almost no heart disease. Really, you need adequate amounts of LDL to support human life, and 46 is too low for any adult. I know this may come as a shock to you, but its biological truth,. Stay away from Pharaceutical fiction.
