Featured rhabdomyolysis patient discussions on experience"I started Lovastatin 3 months ago and experienced muscle pain and weakness after 1 month. I also had a fever for 2 weeks with no other symptoms. I had to figure this out on my own when I stopped the statin drug and asked the pharmacist. He told me about Rhabdomyolysis. I'm still having symptoms after almost 2 weeks of no medications. I read it may take a few weeks to go away and lots of fluids help the dehydration aspect. Now I'm back to diet and exercise. No more statins for me!" "I have this and have been on Tricor and Simvastatin for along time. From what I read this is not recommended (my cholesterol and triglycerides are normal and have been for several years). Why didn't my doctor change my meds or at least test for this?"
