Hi Pops you give me hope dam it's good to hear your doing better in 8 months. I have not been able to stand up or walk without a walker. I am 66 was on Statin Drugs 2 yrs.
I told my Dr.'s from dayone I was having bad pain from them but they would not listen to me until I could not stand up or walk.
Now they know all about how to treat me they put me on the following with pain pills. I had to switch my pain pills the FDA pulled what I was taking off the market Darvocet. I got spacedoc.com news letter about pain relief and started on Ultrm last monday Dr. started me on 50 mgs / day this lasted a day I had to call him.
What the Hel* are they thinking putting me on this low dose when my pain level is a 10. I had to call him 3 times finely I am doing better taking 4 pills a day.
Still my Dr.'s keep pushing me to walk 30 min.'s a day and to do light exercise. Problem with this is when I feel better and try this it sets me back. I am going to try walking in water Mon.
This link to the news lettle helped me to under stand why walking and exercise sets me back.

GADS Phil!! You have become a human biochemical disposal unit!
Somehow I missed that newsletter from SpaceDoc. Thanks for posting link. I do have personal experience with walking NOT BEING a good thing to do, however, that had to do with factors preceeding my taking Lipitor by over a decade. This was correctly diagnosed and a fix provided by an alert PT -- unfortunately, everythings else she provided was pretty much useless.
Lately I have come to recognize that chronic lower back pain and suseptability to debilitating muscle spazms was added by Lipitor and are extensively gone now.
At moment, I am heading in exactly opposite direction as regards medications. I am trying to get rid of final two, Nexium and Travatan Z (a glaukoma eye drop). My supplement list for statin damage is very similar to yours.
Yes it's a big list but I have a lot on my plate. 30 yrs. ago I had a bad head injury and it damaged my Pituitary in my brain. This contorls your how much hormones your body makes. Due to this it's called Hypopituitary I need to take them meds and supplements.
I had to have heart bypass surgery not due to high Chol. levels but from having low hormones for them yrs. I had to 99% blockages going to my heart.
I get so dam mad about this Stain crap after all the things I have been through the last 30 yrs I need this like I need a hole in my head.
Today I was able to get in to my spa on my deck off my bedroom man did that feel good I have it set at 101 deg.'s. Being on the Ultram my pain is much better and I as able to get into and out of the spa with very little help. I did some leg exercises in the spa. I just got out about an hour ago and I still feel good from it.
