12 years ago I was put on zocor. I developed severe diarrhea, ulcerated my colon. severe muscle weakness, urninary incontinence, droopy eyelid, weak legs, slept all the time, severe fatigue,developed lupus symptoms, developed periferal neurapathy. Very painful feet/ankles. Had 2 trips to Mayos. Went through their gamit of digestive and nerve tests. All negative. Results? all my problems was a adverse reaction to statins. I can't take any of them. Statins ruined my life. And what makes me mad is the dr's don't believe what they can do and keep pushing them. I am doing very well without them. Diet, exercise and some Niacin over the counter . So it can be done without statins. Our body needs cholesteral to work right, esp the brain. Very scary scenario for a lot of people.View Thread
