A few years ago i was prescribed a Statin 80mg for my high Chlorestoral (?) I took that for months and one day raising a small wall in a building one of my upper arm ligaments popped and broke. The side effects of statins is muscle degeneration. I lost one upper arm muscle ligament, it just snapped. It never hurt the arm was just weaker. I dropped the drug and increased my oatmeal. My blood work came in as beautiful, according to my doctor, before i told him I had dropped the statin.then he said, YOU ARE NO DOCTOR! but you blood work is good, stay the course for a year and we will see. It stayed good. I love cornbread and milk and crackers and milk. I even add a few tablespoons of oatmeal to that. I add oatmeal to most every thing I cook. As he said I am no doctor, but I am off the statin.Oatmeal is good stuff. I add it to my dry cereal also.I thought someone might want to know. Statins cause some serious cramps and muscle degeneration. I am proof of that. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Some say the cholesterol thing is a myth or is over-hyped

Yeah RS, I just read that Iron, is the next cholesterol. Just as soon as they perfect the 'drug' to sell to take care of it.I was shocked to learn the damage the statin has done to my muscles, I have lost one upper arm muscle. Anyway, in my case the damage wasn't worth the trial. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Yep that is what happened to my upper arm. What an amazing thing about the Dr. being a pioneer in that surgery and you being second. NEAT. My Dr. asked if I wanted to have it repaired, I asked him, at 80 years old, would you? Of course he said this is not me but YOU! He said one more incident and you use use of the arm, remember that! He knew I did push ups in the evening and ORDERED ME NO PUSH UP! I do the female version every other night but only 15-20.That is great that you have use of the arm. I greatly enjoyed absorbing what you said. I would never suggest anyone dropping the statin. Meds are personal. But it scared me.Take care and you are in our prayers as you travel a new path Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
