I feel every time I wash my hair there is more hair than usual in the drain. My hair feels thinner and I am getting worried. I called my doctor and spoke with his nurse who had never heard of that reaction to statins. Is there one that is better than another. Seems like a catch 22 - stroke or hair loss.
