[QUOTE="Teddysmum, post: 2634778, member: 214212"] I was diagnosed statins, by my neurologist because of 'hardened arteries'. Simvastatin had no side effects for me and the NICE recommended Atorvastatin is also fine. The only problem for me is that the brand accessed by the pharmacy does vary and some Atorvastatin brands are very bitter. I'm surprised that vitamin B is prescribed in tablet form (My daughter-in-law had B12 tablets which she discarded for having no effect) as it is said to have little effect by tablet, with injection being preferred . My injections work and even my husband guesses when they are due, as I have 'don't feel well' episodes. (Trying to book today, but the phone queue was11 an hour ago and still 8 recently.) [/QUOTE]
