about the lengths the pill producers will go to medicate us? and then how far the medical community will go to make sure we get the meds?
For example:
I saw an ad on TV last night for a new combo drug....it was a one pill combo for"
<drum roll>
Hi Blood Pressure & it was mixed with Crestor :shock:
After becoming an "educated" & "informed" patient I found this simply unbelievable....
I was on beta blockers for 2 days(took myself off them because of the side effects) now to be fair it was not HBP meds but still after knowing what a beta blocker did to me and now what statins do....Holy Cow is all I am able to say....
Of course there are no major side effects :roll:
This one took the cake for me...
It is common sense for me now(thanks to this site and my own fact finding) that if Statins cause muscle problems that the heart has got be impacted at some point...why? some may ask
(Disclaimer) I am not a DR, nurse, PA, or any other medical practisoner,etc
Because is not your heart the largest muscle in your body?!
I was talking to a cardiologist the other day(not mine) and she was telling me how she found it very distrubing that her case load has skyrocketed through the year and she is starting to discover a single thread in her "booming" practice.....Almost 75% of her new patients have been on some form of statin for at least a year to 3...It troubles her, because most of these new patients are people between 35 and 40.....in very good shape except for that "dreaded" LDL score....now there life is wrecked because of the ravages of statin abuse...
She said she had never been a statin fan and she is trying in her own way to educate folks...I asked her point blank what about the FDA, the pharmo producers.....the Medical Association...Why are the unable to see this issue clearly.
SHe looked at me in a way that answered immeidately....I am sure she was thinking about telling me...silly little man...have you know clue at all?!
It seems to me the pharmocon producers want these side and adverse effects to happen WHY? more pills may be sold....obviously.
If you develop muscle problems, ED or other things the right DR will absolutely help you with his trsuted pen/pad than ever....
Sorry if this was not a relevant topic but I needed to vent...I cannot believe how blind our Medical Community is and how evil it appears the FDA, food companies and pharmocons really are....
I have been so naive....thanks to this board and other findings I am becoming much better informed....and educated.
