[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 232024, member: 21149"] Rob, I think you need a serious discussion about the statins with your specialist. They are a well-known cause of muscle aches/wastage is some people and the leaflet in the statin packet will say this. Statins tend to be given automatically to people with db regardless of cholesterol level. I had to ask my GP to halve my prescription as my tests showed I didn't need the high level prescribed and my readings are still good with the lower level. The most common and cheapest statin, Simvastatin, is apparently more prone to the muscle problems so an alternative statin might be better? [/QUOTE]
