"I can't use statins for example ~ and every time you hear an advertisement about them they give you a warning about a "rare" genetic difference, etc., all of which is true."

Are you speaking of CPK levels through the roof (for me they went over 4000), incredibly sore muscles, and feelings of weakness? If so, you are the first person I've come across with the same reaction to statins as I have. And yes, it can quickly become fatal. I was lucky that my doctor ran the blood test a few days after starting them.

Wonder if we're related? :)
