Statin users....

Wondering how many folks on here use statin drug to lower your cholesterol? And out of those folks how many experience muscle aches and pains?

Got the results of my latest blood test. Doc told me that I have an elevated muscle enzyme.....and this elevated enzyme is known to cause aches and pains. Doc told me that Simvastatin will sometimes cause this enzyme to be elevated.

Took those Damned things for 4 years, had all sorts of pains in my back, legs neck not to mention the leg cramps that awakened me several times a night. stopped the pills and all the pains went away.:cheers: Told Doc and he prescribed Zetia which worked for a while but the pains started again. Doc told me to take them every other day which seems to help. All we are to big Pharma is lab rats.:banghead:
