During the first couple of years I developed muscle pains and some mood change problems also. But initially the doctors didn’t even notice that my problems were stain related. All tests showed that I was healthy – no obvious reason for the muscle pains. Not until about 3 years ago, a smart doctor finally gave me a blood test. Why so many other doctors duirng all tose years never even thought about perfroming a blood test on me? The test results indicated the pains were due to muscle deterioration. My doctor tried the last drug – Vytorin on me hoping I won’t develope the same problem. two weeks after I took Vytorin, I developed severe skin rash. Any skin that wasn’t covered (face, neck & arms) developed severe sunburn type rash. It was painful and hard to even look at myself. This time, at least the doctor asked me to stop taking Vytorin immediately. Now I am not on any statin related drugs. As a result, no more muscle pains, skin rash or bad mood. My body simply cannot tolerate any stain-related drugs. In a sense it’s good for me. At least, my health is much better now withoput taking any cholestrol control drugs. My blood pressure is normal and have no other medical issues. High cholestrol is about the only issue that I have. Aftre reading many more recent reports, I have relaized that cholestrol along is not necessarily a medical problem unless I have heart problem or high blood pressure, that will really increase the risk factor. Unfortunately most of the doctors (including mine) have developed cholestrol phobia. They don’t even realize that they are brain-washed by the drug companies. They meant well, but in the process of reducing my cholestrol, they almost ruined my health.

If you developed muscle pains or mood changes, please have your blood tested if you are on any stain-related drugs.
