    I was put on statins years ago by my primary Dr, but when I went to my Neurologist he had bloodwork ordered including my Creatinine Kinase as I had lost a lot of muscle mass. When the labs came back my CK was 969, so I had to stop it immediately. Normal is less than 200, I was told. Creatine Kinase in the past was used to check if you had heart damage. Your heart is a muscle of course and it showed that the Atorvastatin I was on had been damaging my muscles. As everything else it seems my muscles are always affected since I’ve had Myasthenia Gravis.
