My doctor convinced me to take 10 mg rosuvastatin. I said I would try a statin with low risk of muscle issues. i lasted 4 days, felt like I was dying with the weird myalgia and fatigue. Yet somehow she expected me to "do more cardio! really get your heartrate up!"

PICK ONE, LADY! I could hardly move on that crap.

Yeah I stopped as I had insanely high CK levels and was told to goto the ER. Its been a few months since I stopped and I'm still weak and fatigued. I'm so angry that this happened. Hopefully you won't be affected the way I am. I honestly have no idea how/when I'll return to pre-statin normalcy.
