I want to propose to the moderator that when people who seem to be very ill show up on this site that they are immediately transferred to a section I'd call Triage where only the very serious and knowledgeable among us are allowed or invited to reply. I am sure I am not one of those people, but I believe a lot of us are just meandering through our own health journeys and the philosophical, science-y answer from the general throng could mislead such a person, or worse.
Dear OP:
There are ways to manage health problems through nutritional, functional and science based means but it takes time and awareness. When we are sick is the least likely time in our lives for us to truly be aware. For now, take your medicine (I really don't like statins but that is an argument for another day), get as much rest as you are possibly able and eat as nutritious a diet as you can manage and afford.
You might explore:
Thyroid Function
Vitamin E
Salt balance ( potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium)
All other fat soluble vitamins ( D, A, K)
The role of progesterone, pregnenolone and DHEA
The role of polyunsaturated fats.
This is a place to start in your own research but it is only as good as how well you apply it to your own situation. Be well :).
