Oh man, Mav! Thank you for posting this. (I feel like a big 'ole girl for whining about my 2 little meds when you deal with all of yours and diabetes! And I get a full night's sleep every night - I'm going to be more thankful now.) I'm glad to hear the statins haven't caused you problems - it makes me feel better about taking it. Those package inserts are really scary!FM, I pray for you, rough times with no steak allowed!! I can relate to restricted diets, been on one for 10 years (at least my Dr. thinks I have been, LOL). Most of the times the side effects effect only a small portion of those that take the medicines, but our luck we end up in that small portion. Right now one of mine, no idea which of the 15 I take, is causing, um, 'leakage' and slight bleeding. Uggg.
As for statins they are for high cholesterol, been on them for years with no side effects and they did their job. I think Lipitor and Zocor if I remember correctly, would have to check my meds list to be sure which I am on now, LOL.
Edit: As for sleeping thru the night, I can't remember the last time that happened for me. I sleep a little at night until the nightmares wake me up, then later I might catch a couple of hours during the day. So, a few here a few there is the best I can hope for.
Also, tonight I'll be praying that you and Laurie have a few hours at least of blissful sleep, my friend.
