When I started with muscle weakness, they took me off Crestor (SImvastin statin) for several months. I had no improvement in strength, but my cholesterol went from 170 to 260. So they had to put me on something, so they tried zetia (not a statin) and my cholesterol went down only a little. So they put me back on Crestor and my cholesterol is back under 170. they tested my CK all along and it was normal. I think that is suppose to go real high on statin induced myopathy.
