 Why is 'muscle pain' the most commonly reported and recognized side-effect?

Because it is the only one you can really FEEL.

I believe that most of the damage statins do to the body, you don't really 'feel.' 

Not acutely.

Most of the damage is slow, low-grade, and insidious.

 The most ridiculous thing about statins is that they cause diabetes and dementia.

We keep prescribing these metabollic poisons for primary prevention of heart disease based on deception from the JUPITER study. Fuck me, every cardiologist I know can't wait to start taking a statin lmao.
