It’d be interesting to see a study on whether the use of CoQ10 mitigates or negates this effect.

I take Co-Q-10 and until just recently, statins. After increasingly sore shoulder muscles that left me feeling like a cripple, I stopped the statins two weeks ago. Already, there is some relief from the muscle aches. Unless my doctor lays serious consequences on me, I don’t intend to go back on statins.

My better half had been on statins and CoQ10 for nine years when we went to a cardiologist and had him run some tests to see if there was any heart damage. And there was.

He told us that statins cause muscle damage. CoQ10 only helps to minimize the progression.

No more statins for us.

I thought many doctors recommend taking CoQ10 in addition to cholesterol drugs like Lipitor and Crestor? Mine certainly did.

I also take 2,000mg of MegaRed Fish Oil daily.

Glad you mentioned that! I notice a HUGE difference when I use it. Without it, I experience weird muscle pain. I've read that CoQ10 was originally going to be part of the statin pill, but was separated because of the cost.
