My ability to run (jog) has definitely diminished this month. This afternoon in perfect October weather I only managed 13 min jogging out of 40. Calves are fine but sharp twinges in right hamstring now.. so will just take things a bit easy.
Had physical last week and doc suggested it might be worth trying CoQ10 supplement. CoQ10 production in the body is impaired by statins which can be a factor in muscle pain. Worth a shot, though the stuff is damned expensive. Found some on 2 for 1 sale at Walgreens, which helps. If it actually works it will be well worth the money anyway. We'll see how things are going a month from now. Also changed hypertension meds, which seems to have knocked 10-15 mm Hg off both systolic and diastolic readings. Apparently it takes 2 - 3 weeks for the effect of the new meds to stabilize, but it's a promising start.
Peace. ... Steve
