Guest guest Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Dear members I wondered if you would be able to help my mum please. She has been taking a drug to help reduce cholesterol, it is called Sinvastin. Since taking this she has gradually experienced pain and discomfort primarily in her hands and shoulders but now she feels like the problem is traveling down her body. At first the doctor advised her to come off Sinvastin and during those two weeks she definately felt some light relief but he then told her to continue taking it but every other day instead of every day. Consequently, what was a very active 70 year old is now having a job to get in and out of cars and has had to stop doing her much loved gardening. I love my mum so much as she is a perfect person, she is kind and considerate to all she meets and she is my best friend. If you have an answer to this problem i would all be so grateful as my mum hates being poorly and she is getting frustrated by being inactive and she also feels like a burden. Thank you _______________ The next generation of Hotmail is here! http://www.newhotmail.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Angie, Sinvastin is a statin, and statins deplete the body of CoQ10. Make sure that she takes supplementary CoQ10 to compensate for the deficiency created. Also please consider seeing an experienced practitioner in Chinese medicine, as TCM is able to also affect elevated cholesterol and triglycerides. If you need a referral, ask the group and let us know where your mother lives. Good luck, Yehuda angela bishop < wrote: Dear members I wondered if you would be able to help my mum please.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Angela, Muscle and joint pain is a common side effect of medications that reduce cholesterol. There are other alternatives. You can check into Health Concerns' formulas and see which would be most suitable for your mother.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I personally don't mind hearing about vendors. Maybe mentioning that other companies also have good herbs would be okay.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi Angie, I'm not very fond of statines. You can read a lot of articles on the net. http://www.fonteine.com/statines2.html is a dutch site, but if you scroll down you'll find some English texts, that will hopefully help you form an opinion. The main question is: does your mother really need that medicine? Lots of health!
