transthyretin amyloidosis-caused by mutations in the TTR gene. More than 100 mutations in the TTR gene have been found to cause transthyretin amyloidosis. Nearly all of these mutations change one protein building block (amino acid) in the transthyretin protein.
Statins deplete your body of CoQ10, which can have devastating results. If you take statin drugs without taking CoQ10, your health is at serious risk. If you have symptoms of statin damage, such as muscle pain, take anywhere from 200 to 500 mg of CoQ10 or ubiquinol, which is the reduced form.
In people like you with symptoms potentially due to statins, itâs worthwhile to examine whether there is a good reason to give it in the first place. In your case, there certainly is: You have had bypass surgery, so you clearly have had blockages in the heart, and would be expected to have high benefit from statins. Given your symptoms, I would talk with your doctor about trying a different statin (pravastatin and fluvastatin have the lowest risk of muscle damage).
