Are these lingering symptoms after stopping a statin normal?

Thank you. Yes I was tested for CK levels, all good, but at the top range of normal. Too low to be rhabdo. Kidney function was good, or at least normal. Had been a little high a few years ago, but now normal. I think my exasperation is that it has been 4 months off the statin and I have gone from running 25 miles a week to only walking 20 minutes a day, and still get malaise that last a few days at a time.

The Ubiquolol COQ10 is the mist bioavailable.
I take it for autoimmune muscle pain and it helps alot!

@danpinkston24 May want to think about trying CoQ10, which is an OTC supplement. CoQ10 supplements may help reduce muscle pain, weakness, and cramping caused by statin medications. Statins inhibit an enzyme that produces both cholesterol and CoQ10, leading to reduced CoQ10 levels in the body, which are essential for cellular energy production in muscles. While not all studies are conclusive, some show that supplementation can lessen side effects. I was ok with taking them after reading anecdotal reports of benefits. I was taking statins a few months ago (although had to stop due to side effects) and read about CoQ10, once I started taking the supplement I noticed an increase in energy levels. I still take the supplement and my energy levels continue to be better than before. I would encourage you to check with your doctor if this supplement would be good for you. Good luck.
