Hi @donnanm. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I am encouraged to hear you are working with a chiropractor as well.

I was on Lipitor for years before I started having problems. I switched to Crestor and immediately had worse. Eventually, I went off all statins and my problems did not go away. Here I am years later with worsening problems and I don’t think they are the statins. My doctors are making progress, I am feeling better, my cholesterol is better controlled than ever, but the story isn’t over yet. CoQ10 is helpful to me.

There is a relevant podcast out last week from Mayo Clinic Cardiology Continuing Medical Education. It addresses statins but also CoQ10. I would love to hear what you think about it after listening.

Are you able to stay active @donnanm? Do you have health issues or symptoms other than muscles? What dose of Lipitor are you on?

@grrranny plans to have a doctor discussion about CoQ10. When is your appointment?
