Sorry to hear about your side effects but I still suffer from muscle fatigue and feeling heavy legs. It doesn’t happen evetyday but I am pretty sure it was caused by taking statins. They are not good drugs and millions of people suffer of bad side effects from them. I am strictly eating what is recommended by following the Mediterranean diet. Exercises and drinking only water is a daily habit for me. I will have my labs tomorrow to check how the lipids look after I stopped the statins. I asked my doctor to order blood work to measure inflammation in my body. I have heard that cholesterol is needed for the brain to work well. The statins lower significantly cholesterol levels but cause foggy brain. I just wonder how many dementia/Alzheimer’s patients have a statin added to their regular medication regimen. I am not taking them again.
