Taking this for quite a number of years niw. Doc kept upping the dosage. Now, having to deal with scleroderma. A rare autoimmune disease, and got another med, mycophenolate to take to help curb the progression of scleroderma. Anyone having this problem. I think scleroderma May have been caused by this drug. Anyone having similar problem?

I have been taking Lovastatin for quite a few years. About 8 months ago I started having tingling and burning on the bottom of my feet. I have been to 2 foot doctors , had nerve conduction tests, MRI's of my back and neck. I am not diabetic. They cannot seem to find out what the problem is. Wondering now if its the Lovastatin.

Works like it's suppose to, however, the side effects for me are not acceptable. Major gas, loose bowel movements, sporadic muscle/bone pain, pains in the back of my eye. All of this is sporadic.
