After a few months I had gone on a cruise and tried walking up stairs and found it was so hard...omg I thought what the heck.. I have no strength. Even after that I still continued to take rosuvastatin. After 10 months on 10 mg a day I found I couldnâ??t get up from a chair without server pain. I went to see my dr and she told me to go see a rheumatoid arthritis dr. They did several test and I have RA. Rosuvastatin has ruined my life. Iâ??m 51 and feel like Iâ??m 90. I wish I could speck to someone else who has gone through the same as me.

My joints are still bothering me so maybe it was just a coincidence that the problem started a few weeks after starting this drug. I've played video games most nights for about 15 years so maybe my thumbs are just getting arthritic, but I'm afraid of going back on the statin for fear of losing the use of my hands. If anyone else has experienced this I'd like to hear about it.

Refuse to take this medication. With a single dose I start having severe abdominal pain, can't stand up straight, guts feel like they're being twisted.
