What Are The Side Effects Of Fenofibrate?
Heart Dr. wants me to take fenofibrate. Endo Dr., in the past, has had me on Lipitor, Zocor, Vytorin, and Wel-Chol. I can t tolerate statins. The Lipitor messed up my breathing. Zocor- muscle spasms and popping hip joints. Zetia was the winner- debilitating muscle pain, inability to stretch muscles, elevated blood sugar readings, unplanned weight loss, constantly tired. Wel-Chol causes brain fog and messes with my memory. Having gotton the scoop on fenofibrate, I see more of the same if I take it. Maybe I will talk over w/ Endo Dr. Ideas?
