My doctor was baffled by how my cholesterol level increased over the course of a year, in spite of the fact that I'm a marathoner in almost year-round training. I hated the side effects I felt while on Lovastatin and eventually stopped taking it.
As a former astronaut, aerospace medical research scientist, flight surgeon and family doctor, I was appalled by the lack of information in the medical community on the full range of side effects of the statin drugs. This book is a comprehensive reference source and summary of side effects of statin drugs.
