Statins - CORRECTION

[Guest guest]

I apologize, I misstated the information from the Neuromuscular Disease Center.

Here is their correct list...

On the toxic list:

Lovastatin (Mevacor)

Simvastatin (Zocor)

Prevastatin (Pravachol)

Not on the toxic list:

Atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Rosuvastatin (Crestor)

Fluvastatin (Lescol)

This information does differ from the news story posted on 2/25, which did

include Lescol in the riskier category. So, all the more reason for caution.

Thanks for the list , good timing for me asking questions. LOL.

I was on Lipitor for a few months a few years back. I did find that my pain

increased and was in more parts of my body. The Dr also was watching my muscle

enzymes I believe and they did get significantly lower to the point where the

pulled me off Lipitor. Of course I am a one off case and not everyone might be

impacted this way.

Thanks
