Zocor and vitamins

Hello Everyone,

I am 33, male, I have been doing sport actively for at least 10 years (swimming and running) and I have been leading a health-conscious diet. I have a hereditary high-cholesterol condition, a type which appears in adulthood (so they say). Since 2004 my blood tests have showed roughly the following results: HDL 1.1, CHL 6.2, LDL 4.1, TRI 4.38 (mmol/L).
I have been taking Zocor 40mg for about less than a month and recently I have been experiencing cramps in my left lower arm, fatigue, itching (this morning for example I was woken by the cramp in my left arm, not nice). I have just read all your posts and have decided to abort my Zocor treatment at once. I have bought Q10 capsules and vitamins and started to drink 4 liters (herb tea) a day. I hope the pain will soon abate because now I have a totally dysfunctional left arm (I can't grasp because of the pain).

I am going to write in a week's time about the de-Zocoring of my body. In the meantime, I wish a speedy recovery to everyone.

Peter

My father started taking Zocor, after being on Lipitor for almost 3 years.(He had to stop taking Lipitor, because of the memory lapses and confusion.)After reading these testimonials, I am not expecting Zocor to be the greatest thing either. I am starting to believe that the doctors, and the drug companies are working together to make more money. If this doesn't work, I have seen some adds for lowering your cholesterol with vitamins, and I will most likely have my dad try that.(Against medical advice of course!)Since doctors seem to laugh off natural remedies.

LOWER CHOLESTEROL WITHOUT DRUGS-YOU MUST READ THIS LETTER

To Larry:
I just received the results of my blood work after taking the vitamins & supplements which you recommended. I can hardly believe the results after only 10 weeks.

BEFORE AFTER
CHOLESTEROL 290 215
HDL 73 58
LDL 185 131
My Dr. said to continue with the supplements.
Would it be o.k. to just take it every other day, or what do you recommend?

Thank you!!!!!
