| 1 | My total cholesterol was around 200 | I started out at 20 mg.'s/day for about 10 months, then upped to 40 mg.'s/day to get total cholesterol below 200,( it did lower it to 175.) BUT... I have progressively felt lousy- weak despite an aggressive work-out regimen. 3 weeks ago took a turn for the worst- severe headaches, nausea, extreme fatigue and malaise,extreme muscle weakness, and then this week severe muscle cramping and soreness- especially in both calves. My urine is dark and stinky. My wife notices that my hair is thinning. I was a strong 58- now feel like a sickly 80 year old. | I stopped Zocor 2 days ago, and am going in for bloodwork and urinalysis tomorrow. If it is the Zocor the public needs to be better warned...this has been a nightmare! | M | 58 | 365 days 40 mg. 1X D | 2/21/2010 | |
