Jem said:Tried the simvastatin - once ... had the worst case of diarrhoea and then instant joint pain all up both arms ... given that up until next time I see the doc - although I'm thinking that the scrip he gave me for 40mg was a bit too much considering my chol was only 5, not 10!!
I'd strongly advise NEVER taking a statin again, that may be a sign of rhabdomyolysis

one of those rare but dangerous statin side effects
