I want to get back to lifting weights bad, however I have to wait for the kidneys to repair. Can't say enough about having a good women at your side, she called the ambulance and got me to the hospital, she has lived with me over four years now and puts up with my bullshit, weight lifting life style and steroid usage. We were going to get married this month then this happened. I will bounce back from from this better than ever.

Glad to hear that you are OK!
The VA has thrown me on the cholesterol med-go-round as well. Thankfully I didnt have any worse problems than extreme muscle pain and weakness from the statins. I finally could take pravastatin w/o any major sides. Be careful with which statin they rotate you to next.
