Vytorin and health

To all of you here I would suggest that you also read messages for the others statins such as for instance Lipitor, Zocor and Simvastatin as all statins have similar side effects.

I have written several messages there (Swedish). I have nothing to do with the health or pharmaceutical industry.

Just an ordinary lady in her sixties who have experienced side effects in people close to me.

That made me look for information. It started in 2003 and continues to this day because I think it`s necessary.

I hope you will be able to read some of the books that I mention in my messages to enlighten yourself.

Unfortunately the names of the webb-sites have been replaced with ***' but if you google for the names of the writers I am sure you will find them.

Good luck!

I am totally freaking out while reading these Vytorin postings. I have everything listed plus more....I have never thought anything more than it was me 'aging' or what ever. I started working out almost a year ago, just to make me 'feel better' but continue to battle with bad health. About 1 month ago, I got pneumonia (2nd time in 2 years), 3 weeks ago I started having deep 'tennis elbow' type pains in my arms. I mentioned this to a lab tech friend and she flip replays 'sounds like a side effect from a drug you are on.' I am taking Vytorin (and only Vytorin) so I decide to look it up: As I am reading these other postings, I find a familiar string with ailments I have experienced and told my physician but have never been led to think any possible connection with Vytorin. I have had several problems including: shooting, electrical pains in my lower and upper back and chest, elbow pain, pneumonia, diarrhea/constipation flux, anxiety, strange visual thoughts and memory loss.
