It's impossible to describe the bodily discomfort. Lifting these legs was a challenge. Look carefully and you can see the presentation of severe muscle myopathy and degredation. Under clinical supervision, I ceased taking statins this week. It coincided with going cold-turkey off the codeine that had been a constant companion for months.
June 2026 sees me down the Dwyrd and beginning the process of vestibular rehabilitation. It is now a four of months since stopping the statins. Things are slowly beginning to come back. Passed a crucial window. Lots of self-massage happening too.
