I am 43 year old male and had a stroke Dec 2007. I am having most of the problems with the statin as everyone else here. The muscle pain is not to bad yet but the fuzzy feeling in my head for the first few hours in the morning are terrible. I started taking it earlier in the evening so the affects aren't as bad but still don't feel like myself. I am headed to the doctor to see about changing to something else. I will post again when I return.
