Try diet!

ie loose your fear of cholesterol, (probably the most important building block in the body). Read one of the many books on the subject - Anthony Colpo, Dr, Malcolm Kendrick, Ravenskof:

You are so right to stop this is a cruel hard lined statin - it did the same to me - but not the running stools - I don't take any of these cruel drugs anymore

They Re just a money making machine for the pharmaceutical companies and aledged incentives to the gps to prescribe along with the medication for side effects - all built on financial gains - except for the patient - I use diet exercise take pom juice eat nuts and use linseeds on my salads or breakfast - natural way
