Want to talk to people about BAYCOLgreenspun.com : LUSENET : A Village Commons : One Thread |
I am an 85 year old diabetic. I have been taking Baycol for about 2 years.Baycol was pulled from the market about a week ago because about 41 people had died. I know Baycol is for Chloresterol(spelling ) but I have trouble with that too. My Question is Is there a forum where I can talk to people with the same problem Thanks BIG George

Don't know where there is a forum Big George, but I am glad to see that crap go off the market. I've taken care of several patients with rhabdomyolysis - a muscle damamging disease - and they all had Baycol in common. It can hurt your heart in a hurry (your heart is a muscle too) - faster than cholesterol can. If your doctor hasn't said anything about tests, ask him about running a CK on you. It's a blood test that measures muscle damage. Best wishes,
