I have been on statins for 4 years. Had a stent in 2002. High cholesterol persisted regardless of dose. 10 mg now 80mg!!
Several years ago I started getting muscle cramps. Calves, toes but more seriously left arm. I can't grab much of anything without cramping or dropping. Bicep to wrist is losing mass. After reading all your comments I think I'll just stop against doctors advise!
