Hi Syed,
I am sorry to hear of your probably unreported "adverse reaction" to statin drugs. For up to date information on the newest findings about how statins affect the human body, see Dr. Duane Graveline's Facebook page here:

There is also a Yahoo "Stopped Our Statin Group" you can join to feel some connectiveness, research data and awareness of the thousands of statin victims out there.
Dr. Graveline is currently doing a study on Dolichols that are blocked along the mevalonate pathway along with CoQ10 and other pathways and functions essential to repairing DNA. Cholesterol is needed by every part of our bodies, especially the heart and brain. It is inflammation that we don't want.
We would like to see the statin drug companies use some of those enormous profits to fund research to help the thousands of people like you, in fact about 25% of people taking statins, to regain functions that were lost, sometimes permanently and progressively even after statins have been discontinued, after short-term/long term statin drug use. You are not alone and every person's experience and thoughts are important in finding a solution. Take care.
