Before I was diagnosed, I started taking a pravistatin. Within a few weeks, my eyelid started drooping. I stopped taking it and the eye got better. It was two years before I came down with chronic symptoms. My severe symptoms started when I was having a period of extreme personal stress. The stress has been resolved, but I still have the symptoms.

I was able to reduce my cholesterol by changing my diet. When I eat meat, I eat very small servings. We never fry food any more.

I am not going to take a statin drug for any reason. If it caused an eye droop when I was healthy (probably early in the disease process), what would it do now?
