There should be no drug made that can cause any incureable problem.

I was on ZOCOR for 7 years. What my doc said was the lowest dose. All because my Cholesterol was 209. Borderline high. Biggest mistake of my life. They can't find any cause for my SFN and now autonomic symptoms. I keep saying it was ZOCOR. The response I get is, "Oh, it goes away though if you stop taking it" or "I have never seen that side effect in my patients.". All of this is of course BS. So, now i live with a debilitating sickness. Sad i may not see my kids grow up. But I will fight as much as i can. I just haven't seen any success stories out there of people recovering from this, especially the autonomic aspect.
