At least some of your problems seem similar to the ones that I had when taking Simvastatin and Pravastatin, so it may be that it was the statin causing the problems.
Unless of course you stopped the statin and continued with Metformin and found the problems didn't go away until you stopped Metformin as well.
My GP seems keen for me to try Atorvastatin because it is a more recent drug with allegedly less side effects.
I wasn't keen before I read your post!
I was prescribed Atorvastatin after being swung by the qrisk calculation. Within a week I had muscle pain and weakness. I stopped taking it and within about ten days the side effects disappeared
