Thank you Sally, Cherie and Beary!

I don't think it's a coincidence either! It will be interesting to see what the doctor thinks. Every doctor has a different opinion. I will go with what my Neuro thinks. I am not going back on any type of cholesterol meds and that's a promise unless they are a totally different kind and are not a statin drug.

I had to go to my Cardiologists office this afternoon to fill out paperwork for my heart medication that is provided free by the drug company. He is the doctor that replaced my pacemaker and has only treated me for that and the arrhythmias.

The doctor wasn't in but his nurse looked at my legs. She said she could see what I was talking about but the Zocor should be out of my system by now. She said it clears the system in one day.

I told her I kept taking it and giving myself the shots for 3 months. She said it was something that my Neuro and PCP should treat. She said it very well could be the Zocor but she wasn't sure. She said there was not a treatment that she was aware of other than stopping the medication.

So, I will hopefully keep getting better and the swelling will keep going down. I have a large area on the outer side of my right knee that is completely numb and has severe nerve pain. This may not go away completely but it sure is better.
