another friend taken down

[pops]

I saw Bruce today, first time in months. Last time he told me his doc put him on statins. I didn't have time to tell him my tale. The pain, the suffering.

Saw him today. Offered my hand. He said he couldn't shake because the pain was terrible. I asked how long he'd had it. He said a few months. I told him I can't give medical advice, but I suggested he research user reviews on the statin he's taking, and not just a few, and spend hours doing it.

And I thought: They got another one.

How is it that doctors are not aware that their "stuff" is doing this to people?

This is ridiculous. They seem to be harming everyone over fifty who goes along with their little plan. From the people I've talked to, it seems like almost 100% of the people on statins experience side effects, mostly muscle and joint pain.

Does anyone have any idea how to stop this madness?
