Kudos @ProfDFrancis et al for creative & impactful study of nocebo effect. Amazing...even reproducible symptoms by statin use does not mean statin is causing symptoms. Similarly, rapid resolution of symptoms after statin discontinuation does not prove statins are the cause.

I'd say, anecdotally, ppl seem more aware of muscle aches as a possible statin side effect than of other meds' possible side effects, maybe b/c docs are especially likely to mention it when prescribing statins. Studies of relative levels of patient awareness would be interesting.
