Statins linked to fatigue

I knew there was a good reason I've been feeling so run down (fatigued) lately. The truth is I've been run down ever since my diagnosis with MCL, which can mostly be attributed to a <12 g/dL hemoglobin, but lately I just seem more so. A large part of the perceived increase in fatigue could be due to the weather, which has been unbearably hot as of late (my electric bill is going to be so high this month), plus I am getting older everyday, but in light of this  report linking statin use and fatigue , I can't help but think there is a lot more to it. As if relenting to having to take a statin for the rest of my life wasn't bad enough, now I have to deal with this information. Maybe I could just do with a boost from some performance enhancing drugs. (See "In defense of Lance Armstrong" to the right!)
