[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2086457, member: 355878"] I threw away the Metformin and Atorvastatin - I got into a really dreadful state taking them for just a few weeks. I was walking using sticks - incontinent, in a daze most of the time, aches and pains all the time, everything tasted strange, my hair was falling out, I had to crawl up stairs as my joints and muscles simply could not carry me, I needed to be very careful getting into and out of the bath. When I did the shopping for Christmas twice I decided it was not worth living like that any more, but it was a long time before I felt right again completely - and I had to relearn all my songs - luckily my daughter had encouraged me to write down a lot of them, and I had a fairly complete list of titles, but even now I am remembering more to look for. There was information recently about statins making diabetes worse. What was the most galling is realising that all I need to do is control my blood glucose by limiting the carbs I eat and I get normal blood glucose levels, so I had five weeks of torture for no reason other than that is what they do at diagnosis.
