What Causes Brain Fog And Weakness In The Muscles?

My doctor wants me to take statins and I have tried twice to take them with terrible side effects. My brain gets foggy and my muscles are very week from them. Is there a good substitute? Last time it took 6 months to get back to normal. How can I speed up this recovery? Thank you.
