Crestor, Lipitor - a warning about the side effects

Having recently, gone ‘cold turkey’ off these insidious drugs prescribed by my GP over the past decade, I must report a great improvement to my health and well-being.

If your Doctor has prescribed any type of ‘Statins’ for controlling your high cholesterol, please research in detail the side effects associated with taking these drugs, as you might discover that the cure is far worse than the ‘problem’.

Below is a comprehensive list of the ’side effects’ I personally ‘used to’ put up with, but no more. Some side effects continue to linger, but improvement and return to better health is now a very real possibility.

* Dizziness * Brain Fade * Confused Vision * Headaches (Daily) * Blood from nose (often) * Altered Metabolism (weight gain) * Heartburn/Indigestion (Daily) * Muscle Pain in Upper legs (while stationary, including whilst sleeping).

The muscle pain in my legs, became so unbearable that I could only be ’standing’ for a few minutes at a time, and sleep was constantly interrupted because I needed to change position to ‘defuse’ the pain.

Please check out the following links for some great ‘authoritive’ advice, and please give your ’statin’ medication the flick.
