Zocor and mistakes

My doctor just prescribed Zocor to me on 12/22/04. He did not even check my cholestrol. I'm a diabetetic. My sugar has been around 400. I went 2 weeks without meds. My doctor would not prescribe me with any meds, since I had to rescedule an appointment to see him. I was reading some of these complaints about Zocor, and I was shocked. A lot of the complainees, are on 20 mg or less. My doctor has me doing 40 mg. I only took it once. I think I will learn from you folks' mistakes. I'm starting to think I may have a quack for a doctor. He misdiagnosed me, when I had lymphoma. When I had sensations of being choked and pressure in my head, he said it was allergies. 6 months later, I complained again about the same simtoms, he said it was asthma. I was forced to go to the hospital, when I almost passed out while driving my truck. After a 10 hour visit at the emergency room and numorous tests, I was found to have a tumor the size of a baseball next to my heart. The tumor was pushing on my wind pipe and the major artery that supplies blood to the right side of my body. I was stage 4. As for side effects of Zocor, I'm going to hold off on using Zocor, so I don't get any.
