Side effects of statins drugs

*side effects
one of my own pet peeves, sorry

I wonder what about other side effects

A part 2 would be most welcome. Perhaps with a discovery that the side-effects extend to the son through drinking the breast milk... and maybe the side-effects are permanent even after discontinuing the experiment. Lots of possibilities!

You really need to continue this story.
The story was awesome...
Given all the side effects of mostly untested medications I could honestly see this happening to someone since most new meds get pulled within 5 years because of the side effects.

@marclucifer maybe a warning about addictive side effects is needed!

The thing I object to was the drugging. People magically go down to the local K-mart and by these types of drugs? Drugs that are so powerful that even a slight overdose can cause horrible side effects, including death. And Rosemary just magically knows the correct dosage? Seems too improbable even for fiction and it ruined any chance the story had to be a good read. Liked SOME of your stories in the past. This one - not so much.

This basically happened to me. My wife had a hysterectomy at 40 and took Premarin for a number of years which is a form of hormone replacement therapy. It's a fake hormone with side effects and possible health issues so my wife eventually got off that and our sex life went to about zero. I survived a few years taking matters into my own hand so to speak, but it's obviously not the same. Then I went on statins for high cholesterol which resulted in giving me erectile dysfunction. So I stopped the statins but the ED didn't go away. So I investigated what could be done for me and discovered BioIdentical hormones for men and women. They are hormones made from plants with the same chemical makeup as our real hormones. They aren't put out by big Pharmacuticals because you can't patent thIngs that are natural. So I now take testonerone and progesterone and my wife takes estrogen and a small amount of testosterone and our sex lives have returned to normal for us about twice a week. I feel like a man again. Since these are BioIdentical they also have no side effects. Search the web for BioIdentical hormones in your area and get your sex life back again. My wife and I are both 63. Good luck to others in this situation.One more point about statins - they reduce cholesterol which by the way is what your body uses to make testosterone and your other sex hormones so guess why so many in the USA have ED. I stopped taking stains and the FDA and medical folds are slowly changing their thinking on cholesterol - better late than never.
