my family doctor put me on Prednisone , that's what the statin drugs kill in some peoples body -----working for me .
Will be a tapering off thing , sometimes takes a yr.
Lookup Mayo health clinic for the run down ...I typed in "what causes a 78 yr. old man to loose muscle strength and have extreme muscle and joint pain" , got the mayo clinic website , then told my doctor what I found , he blood tested me and confirmed it . Walking at least 7 miles a week right now and started doing some lite weight lifting , and stretching exercises , and its working for me ...
