my dad never had any symptoms of myotonic dystrophy until they put him on lipitor. now he's been diagnosed, 10+ years after me

Statins certainly unmasked my husbands myotonic dystrophy and contributed to 14, near fatal ,arrythemias to his heart. Procainamide saved his life and(this is remarkable) virtually all symptoms of myotonia are gone--he can unclasp his hands and feet, his jaw no longer locks, and his tongue does not get tied. Does any one out there take procainamide?

Have tried numerous statins.
Each one made the myotonia much worse.
