[QUOTE="shirleymarye, post: 176708, member: 24015"] I was put on Simvastatin,I gradually started feeling ill and I ached all over particularly my legs and thighs, it got so bad I could barely walk anywhere. I started to study what might be causing it and after reading something about the effect of Simvastatin I decided to stop taking it and I started to improve. I saw the GP about them who just threw them in the bin and said they were not suitable for everyone. My DN persuaded me to start taking Ezetimbre,I only have one a day,small dose of it but I am beginning to think I may be getting a very similar effect,yesterday I noticed my thighs were really aching when walking and I had to keep stopping ,I am wondering if I should cut them out. My last cholesterol check was 5.3 and although I would love to think my life would be better because of them I don't really want to live longer but not be able to walk properly. I am 72 now and a diabetic T2 and I realise that as you get older you have to expect some aches and pains but I don't expect to get them from the pills I take! [/QUOTE]
