For the record, the disabling and debilitating serious adverse
effects of
statins can take far longer to recover from, and can do more damage
than,
some heart attacks.


For whose record? Your *broken* record? Another asinine statement.

As we know (and have covered this territory here many times):
FACT: disabling, serious statin AE are very rare.
FACT: From a study(s) posted here previously for those "injured"
improvement was almost immediate upon cessation of the medication. In
one
study, as I recall, full recovery was achieved.

Go ahead. Cite the study that shows that for a 4-year exposure to
Lipitor,
with at
least a 4-year follow-up.

That is the situation that is being discussed.

Cite a study that addresses patients taking statins at
least 4 years duration with statin, resulting in AEs of myopathy,
amnesia,
cognitive damage, peripheral neuropathy, short-term memory loss to
below the
1 percentile, mitochondrial damage, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and
aphasia ALL OF WHICH APPEAR IN EACH SUBJECT, and each subject is
followed
for at least 4 years after halting the statin.

Unless you can show neurological and cognitive and memory and speech
damage,
don't even bother to mention it.

The studies you may be referring to (unless you made them up, we all
know
you attack without ever citing an actual study) have to do with muscle
pain
that resolves quickly, and are of drastically shorter duration, and do
NOT
follow-up for 4 or more years.

If you know of a study that shows quick recovery from nerve and brain
damage
due to statins, don't waste our time.



You're like the energizer Bunny. You just keep going, and going, and
going...

Actually, as I recall, they were studies that YOU posted. Go figure.
