[QUOTE="issigonis59, post: 84699, member: 19213"] Hi all, This last week (just over) I've been suffering from lower back pain, and have consequently visited the gp twice (diff dr each time). I felt that I might have a water infection as the discomfort has been in my kidney areas, so took along a water sample in case on the first visit. The gp dipped it and confirmed an infection and prescribed a 7 day course of antibiotics. During this time i've struggled getting acceptable BG readings, where as before i have been more or less within my targets. I have put this down to both the infection and the antiboitics. Yesterday, was the last antibiotic and I was still feeling very uncomfortable on my left side, so went back to the gp, this time a different one. He has given me some Ibruprofen for the discomfort and asked me to return another water sample on monday. The ibruprofen is doing nothing for me at all, and after reading more and more about statins I wondered if the pain and numb sensations are more to do with side effects of this rather than my kidneys (I'm hoping anyway !). I'll be taking the sample in on monday and will see what they say from that, but just wondered if anyone else had any experience a) of a problem like this or b) similar problems from Simvastatin. I'm on 20 units of Lantus (morning) and Apridra for bolus and have been reducing and monitoring closley carb intake (not low carbing though) since my dafne course in May, and been making good progress and far better control. I also have ramipril and of course the 40mg simvastatin. I'm off in a couple of weeks for my Hba1c and will see my consultant in July. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Rachel [/QUOTE]
