Thank you maremouse! WOW! You really did have an allergic reaction to your statin! Good that you quit instead of trying to be a good trooper and tolerate the leg stuff like me. It took me a while to understand that I was ruining my leg nerves by continuing. You are one of the lucky ones quitting before that stupid statin disabled you! This statin business is so ingrained in the medical community, that unless people complain to their doctors, I'm thinking "no change" in doctors recommending them 🙁 . The least they could do is tell you about the side effects before prescribing and tell you to report back if you have them! My PA hates it when I tell him I look stuff up on the Internet (Mayo Clinic is a trust source, as is Harvard Medical) :), but it appears we have to take responsibility for our health, because doctors are falling short these days. And on that topic, it is so disappointing and infuriating that insurance companies now dictate how much time a physician spends with his/her patients!! No kidding! It is disgusting. We are like cattle - get 'em in - get'em out. What is this world coming to!!! Nice to hear from you maremouse. Wishing you the best. d.
