I've been off stating for over 3+ years now. And anything I do, I suffer that night and the next day or up to 3. Doc had me on 40mg for right at 4+ years. I kept complaining about the cramping, he never told me that it was the statin. And each time I told him about the cramps and how Bad they were he would tell me to take potassium and magnesium pills..! I had already been taking them before the 1st time i told him! I couldn't work!! When I found out it was statin I stopped taking the statin, matter of fact I stopped taking everything he had me on and i still have some Crazy cramps everytime i work. I woud have rather died than to loose everything I've worked for.. I've Lost All Trust in everyone but GOD and my family!!!
Statin drugs and Doctors these days you all are in my prayers!😇😤😔🙏

How long have you been feeling like this now that you are not taking anything? I had taken at statin for decades when my primary care doctor finally took me serious and that was because my blood work indicated something was wrong. I am totally not a medical professional and certainly do not want to project my situation onto yours, but…..maybe something else is going on with you worth getting to the bottom of. I was off statins for a time and my symptoms did not go away. In fact, my health tanked. Like you, my faith drives what I do. I knew how I was being treated was not working and it consistently provides me strength to keep pushing. Boy, am I glad I have. I am actually back on statins and I am learning they are not my problem. I found doctors that listen to me and treat me with respect. It’s been rough but so worth it. Hoping you find the same. 🙂
