Hi TXBatman,

Taking a statin took my mobility, my strength, my mind, my memory, extremely increased my fatigue and I lost my ability to drive...this medication took away my ability to have ANY kind of life. Suicide was becoming an very real option.

No supplement would have changed that

The only option I had was to stop taking it.

I should add: I was taking Q10 when I was using the statin and I still use Q10.
