From what I read here on MCC, yes I am lucky. My wife was also put on statin by Mayo cardilogist. She did have some muscle pain. I asked her to contact her cadiologist about taking Co-Q-10 if he did not discuss that with her. She did and started taking Co-Q-10 like me and her pain went away.

We are all unique human beings and will react differently to medications. I took the statins and my LDL went in half. But to contrast that I was overweight and about a year ago asked to go on weight control shots. They did nothing for me as I read on MCC success for others. I was envious but was told by my Mayo PCP that we are all different and their statistics that some do not benefit or react to this medications like others.

Now a caveat to that. When I went on the highes dose after going through all the lower doses I had extreme reaction (on going vomiting, nausea, headaches, miserable). So nothing until on higest dose then severe reacation.

I know weight loss medication not same as statin but just showing we are all going to have difererent reactions to medications some good and some bad. What I found is if something bothers you keep trying to find something that does work that does not have side affects for you.
