I planned to send a note of appreciation for this but was delayed by three unexpected "events"" . They were with my right foot and both wrists (one at a time) cramping with severe pain then paralyzed for a few minutes over the course of three days. The foot was when I was driving. That experience certainly gives one pause. I am in another town for medical care than where I live. The third event was on a Sunday after the appointment on Friday with a cardio specialist here. I found the closest ER which turned out to be great. They ran tests that could cause or parallel those cramping events. The results of all tests were normal save one --- taking Atorvastatin. Their advice was to change the Rx or at least get a lower dose ASAP but not to drop the Rx until some change which I knew. However so I could drive home (several hours) with less risk for cramping they prescribed a muscle relaxant for three days which also means I couldn't drive during that time. Still in a hotel as a result. A major point of frustration is the need to update the cardio MD's office about this always on their portal and not hearing back. I've seen many comments on Mayo Connect about statins and alternatives just now and do so appreciate seeing them as well as your advice about the RX review options especially now .
