I was shocked when a family member had recently told me she has been on statins and COQ10 has never been mentioned/prescribed/suggested.
This is 2015?
I was furious, in truth. There is no excuse for this anymore.
She is now reading up to see if she needs COQ10, which I support and admire. There's no reason she should take my word for it. I think she had a hard time with the fact that her doctor is not protecting her from potential statin harm. I had told her, point blank, there is no good reason for any doctor to not let patients know they need COQ10 if they are taking statins.
She wondered why her muscles ache so badly. She also now has a form of RLS, which may or may not be related. I gave her some topical magnesium chloride for her RLS.
I hope she see will decide to protect herself.
Warmly,
DejaVu
