@ropnrose how do you know it’s from the statin and not PMR? Can they mimic each other? Maybe taking a statin with PMR makes the pain worse? I have PMR and also take Simvastatin. My Doc says there’s no connection, but I’m not so sure.

@aflik I don't have answers to your questions. I have not had a discussion with my doc regarding the statin and PMR. Since Prednisone and Actemra can increase cholesterol, I never considered eliminating it. I'm happy that I am relatively pain free. I have some minor hip and knee pain, but I'm 69 yo. I've finally been able to increase my activity level this summer.
