I’m so sorry…my heart goes out to you. It’s very discouraging when we have health issues and try to let our doctors know but they are not educated enough (I guess) to understand and believe the meds are causing side effects.
I started with the leg weakness one month after I was put on Eliquis and Rosuvastatin (20 mg)but at the time I didn’t associate it to the meds. As the weeks and months went by I tried to tell my cardiologist that I felt more energy when I first came home from the hospital (after heart attack) but she couldn’t understand any meds I was taking would cause side effects. Now it’s over a year later and I’m weaker than last year. I do things but like you I can only do so much and then have to take a break…
I stopped taking the statin for 2 weeks but didn’t notice any change. I was nervous about staying off it any longer thinking I could cause more issues with a high cholesterol so I started taking them every other night. I’m going to wait about a week or so then ask my doctor for blood test to check my cholesterol. It seems the only time I get blood work is when “I ask”… ridiculous
Some of meds could cause issues with the liver and kidneys
Sometimes it seems like WE have to doctor ourselves. I saw her in March and they gave me appointment in 8 months!
I’m thinking it could more likely be the Eliquis but I already tried a different blood thinner that had bad side effects so I went back on Eliquis…..
Puzzling on what to do myself…
Prayers 🙏🏻 to you and everyone else who are suffering from side effects
