Statin-induced immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy CAUSED BY STATINS. Info for you- you’re welcome.
Muscle weakness, which is often severe, can develop over days, weeks, or months. This weakness often leads to difficulty rising from a chair, turning in bed, lifting, combing hair, brushing teeth; THERE IS NO CURE FOR IMNM.
Statins up-regulate the expression of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis, and the major target of autoantibodies in statin-associated immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy. As muscle cells regenerate, they express high levels of HMGCR, which may sustain the immune response even after statin therapy is stopped. Awareness of this entity will help physicians who prescribe statins to take action to limit the associated morbidity.
IMNM can present much like polymyositis and causes muscle cell death (necrosis) that leads to weakness of the skeletal muscles on both sides of the body (symmetrical), commonly those closest to the body’s core (proximal), such as the hips, thighs, upper arms, shoulders, and neck.
Statin-induced immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy.
Causes of IMNM can be associated with certain medications, especially statins used to manage cholesterol, anti-HMGCR and anti-SRP autoantibodies, cancer, viral infections, or other connective tissue diseases.

Overall, an inverse trend is found between all-cause mortality and total (or low-density lipoprotein [LDL]) cholesterol levels: mortality is highest in the lowest cholesterol group without exception.
If limited to elderly people, this trend is universal. As discussed in Section 2, elderly people with the highest cholesterol levels have the highest survival rates irrespective of where they live in the world.
