[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 164031, member: 16042"] I was on Lipitor and it F^&*ed me over permanently, possibly potentiated due to being prescribed Colchicine for an acute attack of gout: -Myopathy/elevated CK -Muscle wasting -Weight loss (normal weight 150 dropped to 129) -Decreased liver function -Floating pale fatty stools from impaired bile production/impaired ability to digest fats -Concurrent and subsequently long term gut dysfunction/dysbiosis -Very possibly contributed to hypogonadism due to cholesterol being pushed so low (All sex hormones are made from Cholesterol) My cardiologist rolled his eyes when I told him what was going on until he saw the CK results, and then told me to discontinue... I already had three weeks earlier. He had absolutely no idea what to do to help me. I found a functional medicine MD, who did a multifaceted work up, prescribed supplements, specific diet etc which helped marginally. He also found hypogonadism at that time, but I resisted TRT, finally gave in after about a year. He put me on a bad transdermal TRT protocol that made me worse, which is when I found this site (and a couple others), and got things sorted out with Dr Saya. It was quite a ride getting the TRT protocol right, but has been a Godsend in the end. However, My muscles, strength, exercise capability, ability to recover from exercise and endurance have never fully recovered. I discontinued statins after almost a year of use in 2014.
