Wondering if anyone else has had anything similar.

I started a higher dose of a Statin 2 weeks ago.

I was diagnosed with Fatty Liver disease in 2014.

I'm now having flank pain on both sides, nausea & the whites of my eyes have turned a pale yellow.

I've already been changed from one Statin to another as the first one was affecting my liver function, Dr called it Medication Induced Hepatitis.

I think the same thing maybe happening again 😕

Got a blood test for liver function in 2 weeks time. Do I carry on taking them until then or call the Dr and tell them my symptoms.?

Don't want to seem like a pain as I'm always at there for something or another 🙄

I wouldn't wait 2 weeks. You clearly have symptoms. They may have you stop the statin until you get checked out. If you have a good doc, they will respond to you within 24 hours.
