Also monitor your memory, search for recent out of character behaviour along with recent sleep patterns. After 2 weeks and if you believe you have improved, then purchase COQ10 BUT make sure you get Q Gel hydrosoluable made by Tishcon and try about 3 x 100 mgs spread out over the day for a while. You may want to research bioavailability of COQ10, this version comes up trumps every time all ovrt the world. My dilema with statins is 3 times worse than the worst reported on this bulletin. I am a carpet cleaner and I hope these pointers may help a retired MD keep enjoying his retirmement. Also google spacedoc. Good luck from New Zealand.

I will be watching for any update from you. Being an MD you may have more insight than the rest of us. I have been off Lipitor since January. My aching muscles and leg tremors subsided, then stopped all together for 3 months. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a relapse and working toward putting this all at bay again. Very frustrating!!!
