I am on Simvastatin for high cholesterol. All the statins I have taken make my legs ache so bad, I get restless and have trouble sleeping. Taking Co Q-10 once a day when I take my Simvastatin has greatly relieved the aches in my legs.

Questioning side effects of fatigue and loose stools--this drug or something else? The side effects and condition have been present in the two weeks since I began taking Co Q-10, 200 mg. Are they related?

Have been using Co Q 10 for about a month & have noticed mild swelling in the lower legs & the hands. Lower legs are uncomfortable by evening & removing socks helps. Hands have swollen to the extent that I had to remove my wedding band due to excessive discomfort. I feel "thick". My hands & lower legs feel as if I have wrapped them in a too tight ace bandage. I feel right on the verge of the "needles" that occur when your hands or legs go to sleep.
