Several months ago I started feeling muscle spasms and pain in my legs and arms. I told my Dr who suggested it may be a reaction to a statin I was taking for my cholesterol. I stopped the statin and the symptoms went away. Unfortunately, in a month or so I had a relapse and felt the same way.

Last week my mother was visiting me and talked about having a reaction to statins and how awful she felt. I told her that what she felt with the statins was similar to MS. Finally, she understood what I was going through and had some compassion. It was a big breakthrough.
