Muscle pain on simvastatin

I believe so.  I was on it for six months.  Felt dizzy amongst other symptoms and had calf muscle cramps and terrible wastage.  Do you exercise?  I think exercise and statins depletes muscle restoration, I think we need cholesterol to repair muscles, I came off them and it took a year for the muscles to get better.  

Hi,

   I know nothing about Lysine but I do about statins, particularly simvastatin. The pains deep in my arms started me researching after only a couple of weeks. I stopped them after what I found.  Hunt around, there's bound to be info somewhere re lysine. Are you losing weight? 

I know nothing about lisine. I did take simvistatin for a little over a year,had no problems til after the 1 year mark,cramping arms ,legs and back,tingling sensations,numbness in arms, feet hurt,burned and felt i w as standing on a cactus and yes lightheaded while laying down. I chose to quit them. Took over 2 years but most symptoms gone.

Hi Anthony - Yes, yes, and yes. Yes, I had muscle pain in calves, arms and shoulders. Two years after throwing statins away I still have bouts of muscle discomfort. Yes, I also fainted flat on my face in the city street on two occasions, and had multiple instances of dizziness - but not after giving up that poison. And yes, L-lysine is necessary for muscle growth and function. Other symptoms of statin poisoning is hair loss, memory loss, inflamed or enlarged liver, type 2 diabetes, joint aches, phantom itches, vitamin D deficiency, rhabdomyolysis (a muscle wasting disease) - and the list goes on. All those things the doctor will never mention are risks, and will deny are statin-related when they manifest. Best advice from a survivor - focus on diet and exercise.
