Debbie,

Yes, I have learned a lot the hard way in the last few months. I had no idea that cholesterol meds could do so much damage so fast. It is very scary to think that we are taking something that is supposed to help us live longer and it can do so much harm to some people.

I think you should call you PCP just in case and have complete blood work done. My PCP didn't know what it was and neither did my Neuro so if you don't get an answer you might want to check with a cardiologist and have complete check up.

Thank you for your prayers.

I'm really glad that you're sharing all of this with us, because we all need to know about things like this. I'm sorry you're having so many problems.

I take Lescol and Zetia...I've been experiencing spasms and pain in my thighs and legs, but the spasms have been going on even through a med change in my cholesterol meds. But the pain is recent...guess after reading this thread of yours that I should definitely call my pcp.

Again, thanks for sharing...our thoughts and prayers are with you...take care of yourself...
