Hey Pat,

I'm so sorry for your ordeal- that must have been very scary! I know exactly what you mean about the blood thinners...I had to take those too and it took forever for the hideous bruises to go away!

I'm glad that you're feeling a bit better now that you're out of the hospital- the hospital sucks!

By the way, how long have you been taking lipitor? Statins can be bad for people with neuromuscular diseases...They deplete the body of co Q10...Co Q10 normalizes BP and promotes healthy heart function...Maybe you can ask your doc. if you can take this as a supplement...A supplement that's good for cholesterol is indole 3-carbinol...It's made from cruciferous veggies (brocolli, cabbage, etc.). It has anti-cancer properties (by ridding the body of excess 'bad' estrogen), is good for the immune system and it lowers cholesterol. They've done studies on it and it really works.

Anyway, sorry for all the info.. I just hope that you feel better very soon!

Nicky
