Does Anyone Here Take Welchol?

I am so against taking statins as I already have enough muscle cramps. I'm just starting on Welchol and wondering if anyone else is taking it?

I do not take that drug but do take statins very important to take ladies. I have three stents before my bypass..I had refused to take statins as all the aching I had etc. so I watched my diet and exercise it lasted 9 yrs back in 98 then I dev. 2 more block edges and asked the dr..why am I getting so many blockedges as it doesn't run in the family. he said because you refuse to take statins which help you not to...I still didn't listen and didn't take them four years later was told I need a bypass...I never miss my statins now not taking anymore chances. keep trying different ones and you can even take them every other day..I do not get that aching anymore now..guess my body adjusted...some information for you all...good luck .
