1/5 Let's stick to what I know best: An all too common story, Seen in Statin side effects group: " Pleased to meet you. I was in your position a few years ago. I was "conned" into taking Statins just like you. I didn't believe my Dr would do anything to hurt me.
2/5 But after 6 months of Statins I was so weak I fell to the floor & needed help to pull me into a chair. My brain was useless. I spoke like a drunk. I quit Statins at that point. Brain was good as new in very short order. Of course my Dr says there's no connection to
3/5 Statins. I was advised by my Pharmacist to come and get advice from fellow "Statin Victims". All those figures are meant to scare you. Cholesterol never hurt anyone. It has no connection to Heart Attacks or Strokes.
4/5 Statins have Disabled and killed people. And no Dr will admit it. So 5 years on and I still struggle to walk. An hour a day on my feet and I'm finished for the day. I was 100% fit before Statins but I fell for the story that I was going to have a heart attack.
5/5 soon. Total Bullshit. 58% of folks on Statins quit them in a year because of muscle pain. Don't go there - please, and a warning - don't needlessly decimate your health like I have"

1/4 Huge eye opener for me. Statins forum again (sorry)
"I saw the lipidologist yesterday. The first cardiologist who saw me had never seen cholesterol scores as high as mine. The cardiology fellow hadn't either. Cholesterol was something like 600 and total was around 3500.
2/4 My xanthelasma reappeared (milder than before), so these docs were able to actually look at me & see the cholesterol leaking out of my eyes. They are putting me on Zetia, since I refused statins. They told me to eat a lot less saturated fat,
3/4 and that I probably had such high numbers because of crappy genes. (Probably ?? Didn't they do a test?)

1/9 Oh WOW a chink of light in the darkness on the Repatha/Praulent Cholesterol lowering forum. Gives me hope !

“While on Praluent, my eyesight was getting bad. I didn’t associate it with my Praulent shot. Due to insurance issues, I had to halt my shots for a few weeks.
2/9 Magically my vision grew stronger. Has anyone had this problem ?

(next comment
"Funny my vision has been off as well-- about when I started Repatha. Never connected the two"

My comment: The plasma membrane of the human eye lens fibre cell is unique in its enormous
3/9 cholesterol content, which increases, over time, to a level that is incomparable with other tissue/organ cells. If you reduce your cholesterol via Praulent by 50+% your vision will suffer. Much like those people who take Statins and suffer cataracts etc.

1/5 I wonder how many people (vaccinated or unvaccinated actually get this ?). It’s not so much about the vaccine, but more about Control of your daily life. I have a friend so badly harmed by Statins, and obviously vaccine hesitant.
2/5 She contracted Covid in October this year and got through it, showing high antibodies for the virus. She was 'FORCED’ to take the vaccine to visit/accompany her young child during hospital visits. Needless to say the vaccine worsened her neuropathy.
3/5 I also have a friend in Australia. His daughter lost her job as a result of being ‘vaccine hesitant’. Whether you are vaccinated, or non-vaccinated, can’t you see where this is going ?

1/5 "COVID-19: Omicron variant 'highly infectious' and booster jabs may need 'double' dose, says Moderna CEO". Well he would wouldn't he ? His holiday home, Ferrari, his company and lifestyle depend on it. 😂
2/ JMO but Covid ideal outcome would be a virus with no symptoms and infinite spread that would immediately inoculate everyone.
I will still bet dollars to doughnuts that it was the vaccines themselves that, by being leaky but semi-protective,
3/ drove this inverted gradient to hotter strains.

A virus “wants” one thing: to spread. make a copy of me and pass it on, that’s the whole idea. Harming the host and incapacitating them is maladaptive to this goal. mild viruses spread better.

1/ Friends are priceless when we are talking Statin damage. My friend Chris, who was a male nurse was so badly harmed by the drug aged 28, that he had to retire early. That said he received this mail from a Doctor friend.

/2
2/ "It is E mails like this that make the hell I went through and continue to go through worth every bit of it...
"Hi Chris, hope you are keeping well. Thank you so much for this invaluable information. As 45 year old active male Doctor
3/ My total cholesterol as 6.6 started me on Sandoz Bezafibrate. Last year I was started on Simvastatin but refused to continue due to SERIOUS muscle cramps, lethargy and brain fogginess. With the information you shared I feel much better informed wrt lifestyle choices.

1/ Seriously I need to take a break from Twitter. The more I see (Statin Damage), the more I realise the impact on my own health. Frustration, Stress, etc. These are unintended consequences of Statin Drugs, and I really need to cut off for a while, but before I go ⬇️

2/ Statins forum AGAIN ! "In Dec 2015 my doc finally WON & I agreed to Statins for my 250 cholesterol level. He put me on 20mg of Lipitor. After a week I called the pharmacist because I was having muscle weakness and my bones ached at night. Went off it for a week and was fine
/3
3/ He then switched me to 40mg Pravastatin. Was on that until Oct 2020 when my ALS symptoms were happening. Earlier in Jan 2020 I had the stomach flu, then in Feb I got the first shingles shot. Shortly after hurt my back lifting weights so took it easy for a few months.
