Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 When I saw this group I just had to join. For over 4 years I've had fatigue, myalgia, and severe exercise intolerance which started with just my bicep muscles about two weeks after being put on Zocor. It took about 3 years before my legs, hips, arms, shoulders, and last my hands have all been affected. I was taken off Zocor about 2 months after starting it to see if the arm pain would quit and it didn't. I'm 100% disabled by the VA and homebound. I've been looking everywhere I can think of to see if anyone has PROVEN a link between Zocor and the symptoms I've described. Has anyone actually proven it and taken them to court for ruining their lives? I recently retired with 30 years in the Navy as an EOD Diver, so I was extremely physically fit before this happened. I've been seen at 5 different neurology depts including Walter (which was the biggest disappointment of all) and had 4 biopsies, 3 of which were mishandled or the wrong tests were ordered. I can't get it out of my head that this all started within weeks of starting Zocor. All the normal neurologic stuff has been ruled out. My broad scope dx for now is simply metabolic myopathy, which can be about a zillion things. OK, so now the million dollar question ... has anyone else here been through the same? I'm too tired to read through all the posts LOL. Thanks, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
