I was told my local surgery's computer had decided I should take Pravastatin. I pointed out my Cholesterol level was 3.9 so did I need it? Well I was persuaded I would benefit from its use. Since taking it my hair has fallen out at a much quicker rate than normal, I have massive muscular pains and at present have a particularly nasty intercostal muscle [right side] that has spasms that make me gasp [squeak loudly!] in pain. I am cutting down over a 4 week period and telling my doc when it is done. My arteries are apparently 'clean and clear of any clag' according to my cardio.

Onward and upward.
