There are also stories of people experiencing cognitive issues while on statins. They might find it difficult to concentrate or have memory problems. For instance, a person who used to be sharp at work starts making silly mistakes and forgetting important tasks. This can be very frustrating for them, especially when they don't expect such side effects from a drug that is supposed to be beneficial for their heart health.
No, they are not that common. Statins are generally well - tolerated by most people. Only a small percentage of patients may experience severe side effects that could be considered 'horror stories'.
One horror story could be a woman who had fibroids and it led to extremely heavy menstrual bleeding. She was constantly changing pads and it affected her daily life so much that she couldn't leave the house for long. It was embarrassing and physically exhausting.
There are cases where the vision correction wasn't accurate. People thought they would have perfect vision but ended up with blurry vision or seeing halos around lights at night. This can seriously affect their daily life, like driving at night becomes dangerous. Also, in some rare instances, the corneal flap created during LASIK didn't heal properly, leading to pain and potential vision loss.
One 'avon horror story' could be about receiving damaged products. For example, a customer ordered some Avon lipsticks and when they arrived, the cases were cracked and the lipstick was broken. Another might be related to late deliveries. A person was waiting for a special Avon perfume for a gift but it came weeks after the expected time.
One 'kmart horror story' could be about finding a really filthy changing room. I once went into a Kmart changing room and there were old tags, some strange stains on the floor, and it smelled really bad. It was a horrible experience.
Well, I heard a story where a bidet malfunctioned and started spraying water continuously at odd hours. It flooded the bathroom floor and caused water damage. The owner was so frustrated as it happened when they were away and came back to a soggy mess. They had to call in a plumber right away to fix it and deal with the water damage.
Well, I heard a story where a wife secretly went through her husband's phone and found some old messages from an ex - girlfriend. She then made a huge fuss, assuming the worst without even talking to him first. She started yelling and throwing things around the house, which was really terrifying for the husband as he had no intention of getting back with his ex.
One 'Acapulco Horror Story' could be about getting lost in the less - visited areas of the city at night. The streets can be dark and maze - like, and there have been reports of people feeling threatened by groups of strangers. Another might be related to beach scams, like being overcharged for beach chairs or water sports equipment. There could also be stories about bad experiences at some of the local bars, such as being served watered - down drinks or being harassed by overly aggressive bar staff.
One LASIK horror story could be when a patient ended up with severely dry eyes after the procedure. It was so bad that they constantly felt pain and irritation. They had to use eyedrops every few hours just to get some relief.
Some people may have had bad experiences like severe side effects. For example, there could be extreme mood swings that were unexpected. One person might have started feeling overly agitated or extremely depressed after starting Celexa, which was the opposite of what they hoped for.
