Did statin cause PMR?

Hello MaryAnn,
I have so many similar symptoms after being on a statin for 7 months. Medical community is of no use and I cannot afford naturalists, etc. Insurance won't pay for me to go to Mayo, yet it is okay for me to apparently wait 11 months to see a NeuroMuscular dr locally. System here is a mess, farmed out to doctors but I have to be so proactive and research and study and request my referrals and what I want. Been going on 3 1/2 years!
Now I am on Hydrocortisone 15mg a day because I have insufficient Adrenal glands (tested using the gold standard test) and Cortisol level is "dangerously" low most likely because Adrenal gland is sluggish and not working properly because of the Prednisone injections I received for a few years for the terrible pain.
Wish there were ways for people to discuss more personally over zoom, FB, or otherwise, rather on this somewhat impersonable forum?...

Thank you and I wish you the best.
Kate
