[QUOTE="Krystyna23040, post: 1905533, member: 374421"] something very similar happened to me. After 26 days on statins I had to crawl up the stairs on hands and knees and the muscle pain was truly awful. My Consultant said it would take 3 years for the damage to repair but it took 6 years - which was actually this September. My muscle strength is now back to what it was pre-statins and I can now, since the end of September, walk up and down stairs without holding the bannisters most of the time. My Consultant said that once the damage was repaired we will try a different statin. I think I will pass on that particular experiment. My medical records now do state that I have a problem with simvastatin so hopefully I won't be railroaded into going on them again. [/QUOTE]
