Are you paid per article posted or via a percentage of the hits?
One year ago my doctor put me on Atovastatin. That began three months of hell for me until I pulled myself off of that drug from satan. I will NEVER allow another Statin to be prescribed for me.
I experienced many of the side effects listed in the article. One strange one not listed was a severe change in the strength of my finger nails. I’ve been blessed with strong nails. I used to be able to cut heavy cardboard with my thumbnails. . . Who needed box cutters when you had nails as tough as mine? After taking that damn Statin for a couple of months, my nails started splitting spontaneously. My skin developed liver spots and blood would start leaking out of my hands spontaneously or with a minor bump.
Since I stopped taking Atorvastatin, my nails have returned to their normal box-cutting strength, my skin is no longer susceptible to bleeding or blood blooming, or bruising, or liver spots.
There were other severe side effects I won’t go into that almost lost me my girlfriend. All I can say to my fellow Freepers is NEVER allow your doctor to prescribe a Statin drug for you. In any case, it is not cholesterol that is the cause of chronic heart disease in any case. That was a wrong guess. There have been ZERO studies showing any relation between dietary cholesterol intake and blood serum cholesterol. Nor is there any relation to eating too much fat. We make our own cholesterol from eating too much carbohydrates.
Wow, I had no idea the side effects can be that bad. I’d rather watch my diet and excercise than have to take medication.
My doctor put me on this about a year ago. I quit taking them after reading about the side effects. I also couldn’t stay awake, I was tired all the time. With my family history (Dad dead at 56, brother at 51 from heart attacks) I guess the doctor was trying to be proactive.
