[QUOTE="mammacaz, post: 96843, member: 21019"] I was prescribed Atorvastatin when I was first diaganosed T2 40mg after a month couldn't understand why my arms and legs permanently felt heavy and ached my head was muddled and it was like I was wading through mud physically and mentally. I then googled them and it explained everything took myself off them and was prescribed Simvastin 10mg same problem, I now take Ezetimibe 10mg and this really does help. I have a genetic problem with cholesterol not just being overweight although that doesn't help either. So you are right to refuse them, there are some real horror stories out there regarding side effects and the way my DN reacted when I told her of my aches she wasn't in the least bit surprised, says it all. The majority of people have no reactions at all and it is like all meds some suit others but not you. Besides I do not see a problem with your levels.... [/QUOTE]
