There is a blood test called anti-HMGCR antibody test you may want to try. It is used on statin patients who have same muscles issues. Getting one run in 2 weeks, Lab Corp has the test. Will be interesting to see if this shows anything with the muscle weakness.

Wonder if you’ve had the antibody blood test done yet. If so, what were the results?
I got the ultrasound test done on both my legs and it looks like everything came back normal. At first. I thought I had a blood clot.
Haven’t heard back yet from the cardiologist so I don’t know if she’s seen the test results yet or not.
I would love to be able to stop the cholesterol med for two or three weeks to see if I can feel a difference in my legs, seems like they’re getting worse, very hard to walk and bend my legs. But first I wanna get some concrete information that the cholesterol med does have side effects and it’s not my imagination before I ask the cardiologist if I could stop taking it. .. A lot of times I don’t think the doctors realize much about side effects. At least most of them don’t.
