I was a competitive runner with a number of sub 3 hour marathons ...

Good that you stopped that poison drug. Unfortunately, drs. all they is to push dangerous drugs. There are many natural products for health issues.

The blood tests do not always show statin damage. It is possible to have normal CK with statin induced myopathy. Case history demonstrates this well. You did the right thing stopping the statin. Your story is very familiar. Healthy active people start a statin, and then they get sick.

You are on to it now make sure you stay with it. I was 120 kilos 25 ciggies a day occassional binge drinker swimming 40 lengths in 26 mins and 120 lengths non stop in about 80 mins and still did my normal daily activities eg carpet cleaning gardening kayaking etc. Now no ciggies, 95 kilos, no alcohol to speak of drink vegetable juices and 40 lengths takes 40 minutes and i wouldn't entertain the idea of 120 lengths as to normal daily activites that is a thing of the past. Jim Beam and the ciggie makers are far more deserving of a heart foundation tick than the statin makers. Good luck to you.
