THE TRUTH ABOUT ATORVASTATIN SIDE-EFFECTS: MUSCLE ACHES, DIABETES AND MEMORY LOSS 

Good for you! You probably pissed him off because he needed the kickback from the pharmaceutical company to pay down his student loan debt. Shame on you 🫵🏽😂

@Rudolph - I dont believe you but i believe its dodgy for many taking them tablets . But hey your not riding a bicycle 50 miles a day Cmon now get real or is it your still dreaming when out riding that sleigh ..Jingle bells > jingle bells riding thru the snow mon noo .. Or is it Rudolph the red nosed reindeer , has a very shiny nose la la la la la la la Mon noo Rudolph

I`m proud of you for doing what is best for you.. I`m beginning to think folks are right when they call Dr`s pill pushers. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...it`s probably a duck.

God bless you sir !!!!! 😘

After a heart-attack, aged 57, l was prescribed statins. Before long, l had incredible muscle pain: I couldn't sit, stand, walk, lie down or basically do anything without pain. And pain that was worse than the heart attack itself. So l threw them all away, and within a few weeks all the pain had gone. This was 2009 (14 years ago) and l've been fine since

This is hurting me is an understatement and now I got CRS Can't Remember Shot

Funnily enough that's exactly what happened to me, coming off statins

Dr's are being taught that stations are clinically essential and they're told this by the very pharmaceuticals that make the statins

Change your diet FIRST ...BEFORE you take the statins. Research Red yeast rice and other bad cholesterol lowering supplements

Every med will give you side effects or another problem so they have to prescribe another med. it’s how BIG pharma stay rich . We are their cash cows. Improving lifestyle is what I recommend

I suffer from hypertension , would cutting out this medicine help ?

Me too. I reacted badly to every brand of statin.

This is not correct. 80% of cholesterol is made by the Liver and dietary cholesterol has little impact on serum cholesterol levels.

Really: that was 6 years ago; I guess the cholesterol just "flew away". Mom just turned 90 last week. She didn't eat the junk that I did for a while. My sister ate junk and she died last summer. So you quote your wiki news and use those statins. I will continue to scuba dive and roller blade. @@forsdykemontague1017

Yes. I thought they showed that dietary cholesterol has little, if any, contribution to blood cholesterol levels years ago.

Respectfully, given what you have proffered here, you need to incorporate a method of raising endogenous glutathione in your cells. You've got to get the oxidation under control. If you haven't done so yet, get the ApoB and ApoE tests, as well as CAC, CRP, Homocystiene. Your HPs need to give you a complete picture.

I've been taking this since a serious heart attack in 1996 at age 46. I'm now 73. Never any problems. All blood tests so far over 27 years are rated good. Including blood pressure.

That's great! Glad it's working for you!!

This points out the need for genetic testing before prescribing long term meds.

eh?are you taking the mick?

wow

Decrepit old man That be me I need lower back surgery and the neurosurgeon wanted me cleared by the cardiologist. I had a heart attack a day before cardiologist appointment and 3 more stents. I'm now a decrepit old achy couch potato. That's how I roll

Yep, me too. It took a trip to the ER where the physician diagnosed me right away. Like you, it took months to regain muscle loss.

Yep , knew a guy at work whom statins utterly destroyed. In one year he was dead. They just took him down, and the docs KNOW that 15% or so of patients cannot tolerate statins at all, they do not understand why, the mechanism is unknown yet these cretins continue to prescribe these murderous drugs. NEVER take any statin at all

Every statin they have put me on almost killed me. My shoulder locked up and a doctor told me I needed surgery and that my knees were showing I had arthritis. I stopped taking Statins and within a few weeks my shoulder was fine as were my knees. I will never take them again.

Same for me. Just stopped taking it entirely without discussing with GP (not that you can get to see one in the UK)

My mom had clot in brain she was prescribed this also but she stated becoming weak day by day and let leg started swelling and was not able to walk

I was put on 80mg atorvastatin 5 years ago and at first I had very bad vomiting and diarrhoea. Then after about two weeks being on the statins my legs went numb and felt like they'd been filled with concrete I couldn't get out of the chair. The side effects did pass and now I don't have any problems with them.

I found the same thing stiff joints trouble getting out of a chair trouble moving once off it I feel a lot better

I had a problem with all of these. Finally reluctance but I started Crestor 10mg daily and none of the muscle skeleton side effects and worked the best to get my cholesterol at safe level within 6 months

.....but what was the cause of your blood clot?? Asking for a friend ...

Tell your pharmacist not to fill that prescription that you don’t want. No need to waste it, it will wind up in the trash and eventually going into the earth. Also, many wind up having to pay co-payments for medicines they don’t use, or possibly if you get other diseases and hit the platform that you are allowed to spend… now your are putting yourself in a possible situation of paying for other medicines.

How s your cholesterol ?

do not pick them up at all. the pharm may call and say pick them up. tell them you do not take them anymore.

Have any other issues besides levels being high?

What dosage do you take? And what is your LDL?

Fair comment

-please list recipe for this drink. 5:35

Pls take car , don't take turmeric with sprine as both dilute z blood

Yes!! Please do give us the recipe for the remedy! Thank you!

@@patgarrett354seems they won’t share this information 🤔🤔🤔

OK that is one sampling in about 140 million cases, so Im sure your right...LOL

You're going to die anyway! Dump the Statins!

As a cardiac nurse I noticed that people on statins had low LDL cholesterol. But they still came in for cardiac stents and other cardiac events. Because as you said, they don’t change life style.

I told my cardiologist whom I call a HEART BUTCHER BECAUSE HE ONLY WANTS TO GIVE ME THIS CHEMICAL POISON ☠️ AND I STOPPED IT AFTER 3 months because I couldn’t urinate and loads of side effects nightmares loss of balance and probably my kidneys are already damaged by this poison ☠️

​@janecerullo8280 8i

After researching this drug, I decided not to take it. Ran into resistance from PCP’s PA. I’m not taking it. My research info said only 1-2% of people on it really benefit.

The doctors, or the American Medical Association, must be making one Hell of a kick-back!

Statins also reduce the production of an encime called COQ10, which is responsible for proper muscle contraction and function, and guess what !.. the heart is a muscle, big part of the brain is made of fats and has colesterol, when you reduce that you also get foggy brain, and it seems statins don't really reduce the risk of heart desease. Low carb diet and intermittent fasting, seem to be a great solution.

There are some great videos out there that explain how colesterol really works, and HDL phenotype, Check Dr. Sten Eckberg

Your doctor is right.

@@harrodsfanan in-depth and insightful retort. Thank you.

Me too !!🎉🎉🎉

I've taken this for 8 years no problems however after my last blood tests my Dr has changed my medication to rosuvastatin

My Husband took it for 17 years and then suddenly started getting symptoms. Three years later it killed him. Be aware, you can start having symptoms many years after being on them.

What dosage do you take? And what your LDL is?

You don't need unnatural chemicals in your body.

@@Avocado740you idiot 🙄

Sure gl@d I quit taking the drug early

I was prescribed atorvastatin, since I don't like taking drugs I looked up other ways to lower your cholesterol, 1 was the eat oats everyday. So every morning I make a bowl of Oats with the variety of side ingredients, a pinch of salt, half teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of butter yeah I sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on it and quick squirt of real honey. It tastes great it lowered my cholesterol, and I started losing weight because it really fulfills my appetite. And I don't get hungry again until 12 or 1. I highly recommend trying oats the old-fashioned rolled Quaker kind. And see how that works for you.

They do . Most doctors do not care about you. Especially the younger generation doctors. All about ££££$$$$$€€€

You are correct! They do!!

My Doctor said statins are soo great that they would like to put them in the water. I said no after using for 1 week and immediate muscle pain. I believe they get kick backs too!

Drs are not our friends. They are invested in making money.

I believe my fibromyalgia started when I took statins

Same here. I sincerely hope you get better.

I have the same conditions Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis in my spine arthritis in Mt hands and fi gers and I'm taking this statin as,well, think I'm going to need a little chat with my GP and see what he has to say about it.

I have these symptoms too. Wow

Normally I follow doctors orders to a t. I stopped the Atorvastatin and am feeling better.

add memory loss to your list I used to score well at countdown 3years of atorvastin ruined it

I took the red rice yeast for yrs it helped you know the Dr's are always pushing the drugs it's all in our DNA

My husband had his memory restored in two days also.

I do red yeast rice

How is it working for you Maggi?@@maggi0310

dont you mean 50 yards.

Am having trouble cutting out sugary drinks, don't like coffee or tea

Me too! I have hip pain after starting Lipitor, I'm quitting it also!

I have developed hip pain 7 weeks after starting Lipitor. I ceased 4 days ago the medication and the pain has all but gone already.

...but won't you have to be careful on the amount of dairy products you eat now whereas when you took the drug, it didn't really matter?

🤔Idk but 8 years ago I was prescribed Atorvastatin for cholesterol and then I started to have problems with the muscles on my legs. At the time I told my doctor about my weak legs, he gave me some multivitamins he had on a drawer. Months later, I developed seizures in my left leg leading to a fracture that was operated badly and now I have a shorter left leg by 6 cm, and my quality of life is terrible, I depend of others to do a single step...

Me to because my muscles hurt all night and hip hurts at times really bad I’m done with it now

I take atorvastin and it has been g iving me leg cramps and weird dreams

I also take statins, and also have an enlarged prostate. I also suffer with bad cramps. Drink more water (warm) it helps with the cramps. Wish you well.

I have to say you are being sensible. Most of our GPs know what is right for us, it is like anything in life you can always get a bad apple' or two. I too lost my Father when I was very young, he was just 58. With the knowledge we have today regarding heart problems and the massive strides forward in treatment we should be thanking our lucky stars! Some of the symptoms experienced could be coincidental and when pain has gone away because you have 'stopped taking the statin' that pain could return eg early onset (new) arthritis.....yes, ask what your GP thinks, listen/research and decide for yourself. I thought this video was presented very well, informative without fear mongering!

What was your cholesterol numbers? I heard the familial kind can be 190 or higher. Both parents had it, but some dietary and exercise changes got it from 126 to 106 in about 8 months. I got back from the brink of diabetes that way to about 99 and dread the thought of rosuvastatin, which the doc prescribed, putting me over that one day of a high carb meal at a family member’s houses.

It can also affect blood sugar. I caused my Mom's diabetes.

8/30/2023: EXACTLY!!!

Atorvastatin is supposed to be the statin you can take any time of the day unlike all the others that have to be taken at night. As for me you can take all statins and shove 'em where the sun don't shine.

I tried them. Turned bright orange. Couldn't get out of bed. Every muscle ached. I stopped taking them and everything ok within days.my sister said she took it she said her husband found her collapsed in the shower. Hospital said we must have an allergy. They try to get me to take it many times but I say No!

@@jeanedwards7835 We learn in life by mistakes , do not allow them Gps to use you as a Guinea Pig as this is what i think many do and not good enough . Never again for me anyhow but i was fortunate only took two 20mg of them tablets all in and tingling and swelling as mentioned above in my mge was for me answer dont take any more . Swelling went down and ankles in feet and above are fine now few days after .

Some medical humans like money,like our political leaders too..never get enough..both affect our lives.. greed is everywhere..if u went to church,u learned,its one of the 7 deadly sins.. many never learned about it...

its ALL ABOUT THE MONEY,,,,,,,NEVER TRUST ANY MEDICAL ARSEHOLE NOW,,,,,,,THEY LOVE THE DOSH

If you didn't have a cholesterol problem why were they prescribed, but more important, if you knew that WHY DID YOU TAKE THEM?

thanks@@MrDaiseymay

Oh my god, I have muscles pain as I am taking it. Shall I stop ?.

@@maily8388 I was taken off mine AFTER the side effects got so bad ! Some Drs listen better than others . It's illegal for them to get commission for writing prescriptions, however they can receive vacations , bonuses , etc . What does that tell you ?

Yes - please do stop! It’s not worth it!

Look up Dr Aseem Mulhotra. He is an expert on this.

Pls advice

You don't say you are stopping. Don't take this.

Why don't you inform your doctor instead of rambling on here !

Black stools = possible internal bleeding

You're not making enough nitric oxide. Also, making endogenous glutathione will significantly solve your problems. There are precursors that you can consume to raise this response in the cells. Cysteine is the amino-acid needed to do accomplish this.

Yes, terrible cramps from the knee down. I couldn't figure out what could be causing it. Thank you!

so surely ,you still dont take this shyte???

meeluanistyn - Like you I had the muscle pains etc, but main issue was memory loss - following a coronary 12 years ago, - was tested and found to be intolerant to atorvastatin, which is OIL BASED!!!!!! Was switched to Rovustatin, a WATER BASED statin and have had no problems with family of statin, - they are absorbed and work differently and are poles apart, might be worth checking with your health professional, good luck, Gus

😢😊 😮)​@@nsudatta-roy8154

I'm on lipitor, it makes my ankles swell

​@@jimdixon3131yeah, me, too!

Another money making poison like insulin and Metformin.

You should declare how long ago this was.

@@rangasrule4781 This was when it was launched in the UK.

Atorvastatin is Lipitor

😮😊

8/30/2023: They will deny, deny, deny what statins have done and are doing to us.

Hey Gus I’ll try that because that atorvastatin is making me miserable. My last name is Riley as well.. thank you for your information I’m gonna try this I’m on 80mg maybe I’m on too much and blood thinners.

@@wandacaddell5013 Hi Wanda, - as one Riley to another ;) Check out any site which explains the statin family/type differences: "Water-soluble statins include rosuvastatin and pravastatin. Fat-soluble statins include atorvastatin, simvastatin, and lovastatin. Drug solubility may be a consideration when deciding on statin therapy" Nothing to lose and everything to gain, - sure turned my life around, - in my own case the amount of oil based, ie. Atorvostatin was irrelevant, - I was intolerant to it, period, - the water based one I'm on now works differently and no problems with it, good luck and let me know how you get on if you get a chance, fingers crossed for you🤞 warm regards, Gus 👍

I have been on Rovustrin as well known as Crestor for short and in 2 yrs of taking it thru Covid.. I am Exhausted! 24/7 Pain from Hips, groin area, middle of thighs around knee caps, right Thigh only Numbness when I stand more than 30 mins Also pain in ankles, swelling in both ankles at times Also been.checked Ex rays on feet and I know I have my surgers to watch as well not diabetic yet...but possible beginning so I try to eat right My Cholesteral has come down but good Cholesterol is below by a few points of being good but still too low Triglicerides are still approx 250 which is considered high, Bad Cholesterol is good and come down I have Bunions Do not wear high heels anymore Wear a $200 dollar shoe read about these issues including forgetfullness. I have discussed this with my Doctor and she just dismisses.me and is never suggested Even when I tell her that I feel like so Exhausted achey hips down As low energy when I walk daily and Exhausted to the point when walking even in house Like your pushing against brick wall and never getting anywhere bec your always Exhausted in pain All bloodwork has been done Have had a couple of testing to see if I had autoimmune but shows nothing Have thought of being tested now for Pirimytosis And I believe The best thing I can do for myself is be my own advaocate And change Doctors As she verbally told me 2 yrs ago I had probable Arthritis and last 3 weeks ago now verbally says no I have no Arthritis And that I am good even with a racy heart at times calls it Anxiety However I was checked with Heart Monitor, Cardiac tread mill test, utra sound on neck, legs and heart Found nothing So question Could these statins be causing... 1. Low Energy 2. Racey Heart periodically 3. Pain in bottom Torso & feet 4. Simple Exhaustion all time 24/7 5. Thirsty all the time Dry mouth all the time Even after drinking 6 a day water bottles 6.Forget fullness 7.pain in feet, legs, hips

If by sick you mean nauseous and throwing up and feeling sick like that, then start taking the medication here in the evening. That works for me.

I was sick for a month and couldn't leave the house. It took 3 weeks after stopping the meds to start feeling better

8/30/2023: VERY SMART to run, or hobble, or limp away from statin drugs!

O 9:04

As long as l was taking atorvastatin. I was suffering from terrible pains in the knees. Now l am on ezetrol and l am feeling fine

Yes you can get there w out it!! Vit B3 niacin lowers cholesterol perfectly and it is non toxic over the counter in vitamin section. Meds are chemicals and poison to our bodies I take No flush Niacin vit B3 for 20yrs works great you must take some B12 w it! ea time.

What about simvastatin?

@@janettive3196 Simvastatin can cause fewer gastrointestinal issues. Not a better for muscle/knee issues.

I had the same thing. There is an article called “the memory thief” about Lipitor

Yes, my Husband had Dementia type symptoms, he had been on Statins for 20 years. I'm sure his Cholesterol was super low, unfortunately it killed him in the process!

8/30/2023: Fellow traveler here! I sympathize! Falls, muscle pain, loss of balance, broken hip, broken collar bone, broken wrist. The drug should come off the market!

​@@bluegrasshack3810mo

The only reason why statins are being pushed by the Big Pharma on low broadline cases is because they lowered the threshold for perscribing people onto statins for life and other drugs to counteract the side effects which increase profit for the companies that sell this. At the end of the day ,there is no profit to be made in healthy people. I myself fell into this lowered boarderline category and recommend to go on statins,after a couple of months I started getting severe back pain and muscle leg cramps.Doctor suggested to try a different type of statin I said no thanks and came off them.Since what has happened in the world health event of 2019 onwards I lost all faith with health organisations.

I take this atrovtin,doctor gave a eextra pill to take with this its called ecitbee

Same here I'm just so glad I read all comments the leg pain horrible

8/30/2023: No, they won’t tell you. You could wind up like me and thousands more as cripples!

My Husband died from the use of Statins. Not once during the many visits and stays in Hospital were Statins ever mentioned as being the cause. I found out after he died about what that evil drug can do. I am beyond angry and heartbroken.
