Many people go downhill fast after starting Statins.
This is just more proof.
The doctors prescribe them because the drug companies do everything they can to get doctors to prescribe them.
Doubtful, since most of them are now available in generics.
Shortly thereafter I had double-vision. I went to the ER finally (insisted by my wife). The first doc said “Well, it isn't like the movies. Double vision is rare with a head injury, but we'll check it out”.
They ran all the tests. No brain damage, but the MRI showed a minor stroke had occurred sometime in the last two years. (No recollection of anything odd.)
Even though my collestrial is good some other doc put me on Statins. “Statins should be put in the water like flouride. Every American is so overweight...” (Yeah, I could lose 15 pounds.)
Turns out my eyeglass prescription was out of date. I took the statins for a week.
