@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.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like the recent Px
changes you've made have improved your symptoms. That's promising.

Appreciate the LDN meaning. I have to look up the N part.

Feeling better helps to get one feel more optimistic.

If you don’t mind, please keep in touch & I hope everything continues to improve for you.
