"After taking 2mg of Livalo for 3 weeks, I experienced several side effects, so much so, I am no longer taking any statin.  Severe muscle pain and weakness and joint pain, flu like symptoms but no fever, even though I felt like I had a fever.  Slight cough, runny nose and extreme lower abdominal pain. Then came the chills.  That's it.
I have experienced muscle weakness and pain on other statins, so my body knows better and I'm listening to it."
