I was on atorvastatin for 8 months, Few months ago started feeling nausea/ throwing up some days..

dizzy, my arms and legs felt useless, like jelly,

I need my arms to lift myself as I have trapped spinal nerve, osteoporosis, and a damaged knee due to osteoporosis,

But some days I couldn’t get out of a chair..

Stopped taking these toxic tablets ( my Drs words., about 10 days ago, I feel a lot better in myself.. but legs and arms still weak.

How long before these muscles of mine get better

I’m on aquilliam, B12 and Iv got myself an exercise bike.. hoping these things help.
