Thanks so much for this Jessica and for all your efforts to help us keep up with the latest science and research about COVID and other public health dangers. You are so right, we have had to search out public health information from each other. I am grateful to you for your recent article about HOCl and how it helped your child. I used it in a cool mist humidifier during my teen's recent stomach flu and I really think it helped. You are sharing the practical advice so many of us would want from our PH agencies. Thank you.
I have statin-caused rhabdo, acquired 2017. First symptoms showed up c.5 weeks after a hospital cardiologist put me -- without explanation -- on a combo of beta blocker, Plavix, Lipitor, baby aspirin. (I'd got myself there by ambulance: heart attack -- I recognized it from paying attention to lit etc.) At no time did anyone ask me ?s about allergies, meds, etc.: that would happen 4 days AFTER discharge.
So, alarming symptoms which I searched on and found, along with "extremely rare," "no official diagnosis," "no known treatment," and the one useful piece: "occasionally thought to be caused by a statins in people who have statin intolerance." (This is still 2017, but it did occur to me that perhaps info was so thin because pharma was already making a fortune on statins.) Anyhow, took myself off and symptoms disappeared in a matter of days.
Eight years later they came back. Most online articles focus on what is now distinguished as "Exertion Rhabdomyelosis", as opposed to "medication-caused," and only very occasionally are statins cited
How physicians are supposed to find out what's up is beyond me -- and I'd bet that doc and that hospital are still feeding statins to coronary patients willy-nilly.
And BTW, I had neither high blood pressure nor high cholesterol.
I've been house bound for 9 months.
A longtime friend (male) delivered me this mini-sermon recently: "Self-diagnosis is all well and good, but you need to have it verified by a doctor."

The role we can play is incredible. You’ve been huge in this advocacy.
Again I thank you. I maintain my slippery grip on sanity because of a few friends and a few writers like you.
We are the public health heroes for whom we have been waiting
The FDA isn't any better and it's going to get worse.
Toe the line.

Fat chance, old buddy.
You actually toe a line.
