Hi there wyldorchid5150

I am pleased that you have found the cause of so many of the problems ie the Statins. Most of the folk on here have had the run around from Doctors who were or still are completely ignorant about the side effects of this poison, please do not allow them to bully you into taking any more Statins.

As for cholesterol levels rising when someone stops taking a Statin, it is just one of the things that happen to some people, in due course the levels generally come back to a proper normal value. Most Doctors will expect a couple of weeks or months off a medication will allow your body to normalise itself and if things didn't improve, they will pop you back on to the damn things and increase the likelihood of making you even worse (it often takes a lot longer than a couple of months).

I know a fair bit about your problem and how it can effect you ie heart attack and memory problems and weakness etc, hopefully once you definitely stop taking the Statins, you will start to improve. The improving can take a very long time to be noticeable, its over three years since I stopped my poison and although I still get tired both physically and mentally fairly quick, I can now remember some of the things I used to forget all the time which included close family members names.

If you are not already taking supplements like Co-enzyme Q10 and Acetyl L-Carnitine, vitamin B etc, I would recommend that you start as they do help with our problems.

I will stop here and let others fill in the gaps as each of us have our own experiences with this poison.

All the best,
Allen.

Dear Lady,

Your experience follows a common course and it's evil!

to add to Allens good start I would add:

learn the truth about cholesterol! stop worrying about that and any doctor who insists should be replaced!

of the B vitamins do not take large doses of niacin because it lowers cholesterol. Take, instead, niacinamide which is the form most likely to be helpfull.

all other B vitamins can be safely supplimented in high doses.


high dose vitamin C up to 10 grams per day in 3 doses

liquids and electrolytes, this is very important. normal intake is 60 to 90 oz per day and many of us require more. if you use 90 then 60 of that should be gatorade or pedialite. you can make your own there is info on the net.

rest, do nothing if possible for a month or so, avoid stress at all cost. there is no need to see a doctor that, even if he understands the root of your symptoms will not be able to offer a cure. During that time learn about "mitochondrial dysfunction" as that is what you are dealing with.

then try to find a doctor familiar with mito.

then once you feel well. doing nothing, slowly start being active in small segments, rest in between, and slowly increase the duration and strength of your activities. If you relapse it means you are pushing to hard.

others will add more

Thank you gentlemen for the warm and informative welcome. I will try to start with the vitamins y'all mentioned, as soon as money permits. In a one income household, our financial situaton is dim and dire. I have a doctors appointment on Friday, I'm terrified and galvinized at the same time. I finally feel I have some information to fight and fall back on, but in the same breath, these people hold a posititon of power, they can give me relife from this pain that has me in a deathgrip. 4.5 years.....and only being off 5 and a half weeks and a whole new host of strange painful muscle and nerve jiggity whigs has me at the end of my rope. Y'all know, you've been there.
