Wonder what your cardiologist will
recommend. It does seem connected by how you describe the change. I hope they'll find a path back to you being more mobile. What is LDN? Does it reduce pain? I really hope your Dr's. can help you out. Take care. Air hug..!!

@ellesea01 thank you. My cardiologist said I could go off till I see her in December.
The muscle tenderness is already going away and I’m hoping maybe I’ll get a little more strength in my legs as well. I don’t think the statins have caused my neuropathy because I’ve had it for years. I think it just made worse due to added weakness. However in the process of sorting this I also discontinued the antiviral (valacyclovir) I’ve been on for 2 years. Didn’t realize how tired and yucky it made me till I stopped. Between those two meds, my neuropathy has been much worse, so hopefully I’ll do a little better.
LDN is low dose Naltrexone. It’s done wonders for pain. It’s prescribed off label and has to be filled at a compound pharmacy. There’s discussions here about it.
