[QUOTE="tighthead3, post: 175573, member: 31644"] hello zombie,I too have had problems with simvastatin and came off it, my doctor wasn't pleased and asked me to try pravastatin instead, at first all seemed well and I was coping ok with this particular statin, however I soon started noticing pains in my knees, this then spread to my shoulders I was in constant pain and done some research on statins which convinced me that I would be better off without them, I stopped taking pravastatin on 17th January this year and soon noticed a big improvement in my shoulders, I told my DN at my three monthly check up expecting to be warned of the dangers of stopping, but to my surprise she told me that she had come off symvastatin for the same reasons, I think coming off them has done me the world of good, but it is down to the individual to decide whats best for themselves. All the best. [/QUOTE]
