I find supplementing with Coenzyme Q-10 in the 60-300 mg range daily helps relieve a great deal of my statin induced nerve and muscle pain.
Unfortunately, I have fatty liver syndrome and a hiatal hernia. Despite taking these gelcaps on a full stomach and in small dosages, usually 30 mg five to eight times a day, I find a few days of constant use really aggravates my abdominal discomfort, and I need to go off the supplements for a few days to recover...by which time my statin damage symptoms have returned.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to moderate my stomach distress from Co enzyme Q-10 use?
By the way, I have also found that taking 81 mg of buffered aspirin more than twice a week really bothers my tummy as well. Nuts.
