I have continued to check into this website periodically. I took two different statins with the same side effects that other folks are experiencing. I took myself off of the drugs even though my cardiologist told me to stay on them. I have zero side effects now and have returned to normal. I got my cholestoral to acceptable levels with heavy doses of fish oil, niacin, diet, and exercise....I cannot take statins and it is obvious others cannot either. My husband takes statins with no side effects...I am amazed at cardiologists ignoring these effects. The only way they will take you off is if your blood shows muscle loss...and, then, it is too late...
