Default STATIN-triggered neuromuscular disease

[QUOTE=david x;1066390]After resisting my PCP for years, I finally went to a cardiologist for a second opinion regarding a statin drug--in my case simvastatin (generic Zocor). In six months of low-dose simvastatin, I became disabled with a neuromuscular disease for the rest of my life.

Very interesting because I have been taking Zocor since November and have been having restless leg syndrome. My doctor wants to stop taking it to see if that is the problem. Are you saying there is no hope?
