Wendy, Statins wrecked my health

Clare0116

I'm 63, have Hashi's curse total thyroid failure and have been on statins for 14 years. Just 4'10"I tall, I have been an obese anorexic, after 2 years of struggling to lose every pound, I'm now an overweight anorexic. I have finally realised that my prescribed Atorvastatin is storing my calories as fat and won't allow my body to use fat for energy. No wonder it's a struggle to lose even 1 pound per month! My Dr, hospital and community Nutritionists, gym personal trainers all gave me advice which saw dramatic weight gain and embarrased, they all said they couldn't help me. Their advice works for everyone else. I can't even lose weight on 1,000 cals, 10gms carbs and cycling/walking 1hour every day! No wonder I feel so depressed. Having realised why my body won't let me lose weight, it's time to stop taking statins. With my healthy, usually low fat lifestyle, I should start to see progress at last.
