actually that is how I injured my abs and leg :(

It's not because of statin though, it's because of a drug named Pritor.

I don't realise how can they reccoment this!?!

Thank you. Taking Simvastatin (Zocor) and within one week started to have problem in my shoulder...doctor took me off and had another blood test, everything was fine, no problems with the statins in liver. I went to health food store and am taking multi-vitamins with CoQ10, Fish oil, Niacinamide. I'm also taking extra Vitamin D for bone density. Change diet and decided to eat oatmeal at least 3 times per week..I walk daily (mail carrier) hopefully my cholesterol will get lower.

Great Video. I just had to diagnose myself with rhabdomyolysis because my doctor wasn't listening to my complaints about muscle pain in my leg. Great explanation to why it happens.

Just read all the comments below. What you must realise is that statins should only be taken for patients who are at a high risk from a 'cardiovascular event' (eg a heart attack or stroke). This includes post MI, diabetic patients with CHD and patients with pre existing CHD such as angina, TIA etc. Statins have been tesetd on millions of these type of patients and have should excellent benefits of reducing CV events. Yes statins should be used sensibly and they DO have known side effects

If your federal government blatantly lies to the American public about something as important as going to WAR because of alleged possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction which resulted in over 1million deaths of innocent civilians, do you REALLY think that they wouldn't lie to you in order to please a filthy rich pharmaceutical company that makes political campaign contributions and bribes for MILLIONS OF DOLLARS !!! Are you on Lipitor or what!!!???

My blood pressure and cholesterol were high until I started drinking Mona Vie with the red top. I'm not the only one it has helped either.

People should go to juiceberg's channel if they want to inquire about the MV. I'm telling ya, it's amazing!

HELP...I took 10mg of Lipitor for 4 years to lower my cholesterol. It as 200 at the time and my GP recommended that I start statin therapy.

I have become extremely ill since January, memory loss, fatigue, depression, muscle and joint lain, legs hurt if I walk around the block, headaches, neck/back pain. Lately, if I am
