[QUOTE="Sweet enough, post: 153694, member: 22735"] After I was diagnosed Oct 09 I was given simvastation to control my cholestrol It worked. In Feb I went to Drs complaining of very sore calf muscles, poor memory, nausea, the wild sh' ites, and dizzy spells and suggested it may be the statins. He told me not to read too much on the internet. I had pain in knees and hips and couldnt walk more than 200 M without stopping . It was suggested I probably had arterial disease and was sent to specialists. The results came back negative, I was then told I must have spinal stenosis- a narrowing of the canal that carried the spinal cord. CT Scan and specialst declared nothing amiss. I went back yesterday and the Dr suggested with a triumphant look on his face....! "I wonder if it could be the statins" I could have throttled him. 6 months down the line and he must have finally read the same websites I had :lol: Off statins now for a month to see what happens and hoping to have my old self back soon. Will let you know. [/QUOTE]
