The other photo in which I had mass muscle damage was taken approximately 2 years after I took myself off Crestor due to mass muscle deterioration, and I weighed in at approximately 99 lbs. and aged physically by 15 years.

Hello Chantelle.
Welcome to spacedoc.net.
I am sorry to learn that you were prescribed a statin. There is no scientific literature that supports the use of statins in women because they have never been shown to demonstrate any improvement in the outcomes for females.
The images supplied make it clear that you have been affected by your statin medication and I am pleased to learn that you do not take it any longer. If you look around this spacedoc.net site you will find many answers to your questions. If you are too fatigued to look, don't concern yourself too much, just ask the questions you need the answers too.
I recommend you download and read a report which I had published recently; in the Journal of Independent Medical Research. After you have read it, please feel free to make a copy (it is a PDF file) and give it to your treating medical practitioner(s). My hope is that it will make them think and never prescribe statins again.

I have sent copies to the chief public health officers in Canada and I hope to provoke a public debate.
