Treatment with Ezetrol is it safe?

Posted , 11 users are following.

I have taken Ezetrol for approximately 7 years having had considerable problems with statins and leg pain. 3 years ago I began to have sensations of heat and nerve pain in my legs . I was , a year later, sent to a neurologist but no determination of the cause was found. I also had a Doppler to assess the circulation, sent to a cardiologist who said it was normal. I thought the point of me seeing him was that the results were abnormal and were certainly very different from an earlier one at the time of the statins saga.I am now suffering pain in legs and the area of liver and a general malaise with some dizziness. This week I am to have a blood test to assess the liver function. I was never ill until the word Cholesterol came into my life and I have never been well since. There is plenty of information as time passes from Drs and other health care professionals who now seem prepared to stand and say that Cholesterol, statins and ezetimibe are not as they have been described to us. Cholesterol is necessary and statins and ezetimibe are questionable treatments.

    Interesting reading all the comments on statins and ezetrol.  I have familial high cholesterol (at its highest was 8.5), but my good cholesterol is always higher than normal.  Anyway, after being persuaded to go on statins, I succumbed and did.  I tried three and not one suited me.  Now I'm on ezetrol, first of all just a few times a week, now every day.  And I can honestly say that I since then have no energy, my muscles are much weakened, have constant back ache, and am gaining weight around the middle.  I still try to exercise, but it's becoming more difficult because I have no energy.  I eat mostly a healthy diet and really am at a point of reducing ezetrol to come off it in the long run.
