[QUOTE="berylc, post: 1174835, member: 42210"] I was put on statins 'as a precaution' when diagnosed 4 yrs ago, even though my cholesterol was low. I was also on metformin, then SR metformin, but metformin made me really ill, so with the diabetic nurse's agreement I came off all medication (after 4 yrs of hell!) to see how I would be without it. I'm still off metformin, but my cholestrol went up slightly from 3.4 with simvastatin to 5.8 without (LD 1.6 with meds, 4.49 without, HD no change) so have now started back on it with 20mg a day (40mg previously), but I'm now getting cramp at night, it stopped when I stopped simvastatin. So will keep a record of when I take statins and when I get cramp to see if there is any link..... [/QUOTE]
