There are no presents under the tree this year. My wife will go out at the last second and pick up a few things for the kids. Money is tight for us like many familys. This is nothing new. But we have each other, and that means more to me than anything else.
I have no money to give. But I can still give. It doesn't have to be money.
Sometimes I lay awake at 3am thinking. Thinking about people who have had their lives turned upside down by cholesterol lowering drugs. Some of these people were perfectly healthy before lipitor. Now they struggle to walk. I want to help them because I have experienced their pain. I know what its like.
I study human biology. I search for answers. I communicate with those suffering statin induced muscle weakness and answer their cries for help. They have been abandoned by their physicians. They turn to the net for answers.
I have learned more about the human body and cholesterol than I ever thought I would. I have learned more about endocrinolgy than I bargained for.

hi, this is the first time I read your journal... I'm still learning.
We had such money problems 3 years ago when my husband became disabled. We bought a much smaller home with lower taxes, but the house we were selling just didn't sell. So that really made us miserable. And our health insurance was $1800 a month, with my $300 a week salary, thank God for loans.
But MedLab, somehow things changed as they always do and know it will be the same for you and the family. You've done so much for people, and what goes around does come around.
You might not believe this now, but when you and your wife are much older and more settled financially, you'll look back on these struggles and cherish them.
And I see in your future, a bright future, as a very well paid and respected researcher. And I do see things much more clearer for others than myself, so it'll be true.
Take care.. Happy New Year!
