Statins are one of the worst drugs that you can take. Some people I know have taken them for years and do not appear to have any side effects. I was almost paralyzed by Lipitor and after two weeks of stopping it, I was walking fine again. Then I took Baycol and ended up in the bed for over 6 months with intense muscle pain. Now the pain is in my legs which hurt everyday. There is no cure. The drug changed the structure of my muscles. But, my cholesterol is still high. What a problem. I need info. on alternatives to these drugs. By the way drugs have almost killed me and at the same time many have saved my life. It is a very confusing issue. <!--more--> I am also suing over the Rezulin, because they think it gave me an almost fatal heart attack. I am now taking Amaryl which hurts the vaulves in your heart, but what am I to do. Either the disease will kill me or the medicine. Very complicated situation. Interested in all view points.

But, my cholesterol is still high. What a problem. I need info. on
alternatives to these drugs.

By the way drugs have almost killed me and at the same time many have saved
my life. It is a very confusing issue.

fatal heart attack.

I am now taking Amaryl which hurts the vaulves in your heart, but what am I
to do. Either the disease will kill me or the medicine. Very complicated
situation.
