Our first purpose is to encourage those for whom there is no proven benefit to get off statins, or better yet, not take them in the first place.
Our second purpose is to promote research into treatment and cure for the adverse effects associated with statins. For many of us, this is our only hope.
Our third purpose is to illustrate, with our photos and our stories, the bad things that happened to us while on statins: some of us will have to endure these adverse effects for the rest of our lives. Some have even died.
Doctors aren’t required to report adverse effects; consequently the bad effects of drugs are hugely under-reported.
We seek photographs and stories from people who have suffered adverse effects associated with statins. The stories can be as personal as you’re willing to tell, and there is no word limit. Because disease and pain affect others as well, we also welcome postings from friends and family members.
So please, if you’re a victim of a statin drug, go to the Share Your Story page and post your photo and story. The photo is important: it shows that you’re a real human being whose life has been damaged subsequent to taking a statin. The more of us post, the more likely we are to get help. This is a way of fighting back.
P.S. During the times I feel better, I’ll add to this page. If you have questions or comments, please email me at statinvictims@gmail.com.
