After heart attack in 2008 had stents.Dr prescribed 40 mg of simvastatin twice a day. suffered memory loss and pain all over but especially in my legs. After being off this drug and 2 attempts at other statins I still have some short term memory loss and weakness and pain in legs.I work a job that requires 8 hrs on feet and some lifting.I notice progressive weak feeling and pain in my legs. Have difficulty some days walking up stairs.Trying to exercise to strengthen legs but finding this difficult. When I have blood work they always tell me I have elevated muscle enzymes. Also unable to complete stress test on treadmill had to do chemical stress test at the Drs advice after witnessing my inability to do other. Im sick of It!! Will this end?
