if they're getting a CK bump that you know their CK goes from a baseline of 50 to 300 even if they're asymptomatic I don't like it so I'm gonna switch that away
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
the reason you should stop a statin is if they're having Maya Pathak symptoms aches or weakness then I don't care what they're seeking I'll get some info to you on ways of monitoring CK and if they come in and tell you hey Peter I'm feeling pain or you somehow are doing some muscular strength testing or they tell you I don't get out of the chair as much proximal muscle weakness stop the dawn yeah
