[QUOTE="IanD, post: 145555, member: 6186"] [b]Re: statins[/b] I developed severe muscle pains on 10 mg simvastatin. The pain went away within a week of stopping them. My wife takes 40 mg simvastatin & doesn't attribute problems to them. She swims 40 lengths (1 Km) most days, but has got a shoulder pain. We cannot be sure of being properly monitored - it depends on us recognising that our symptoms are possible side effects, & reporting to the Dr. I had other symptoms that I attributed to getting older, & the effects of diabetes. Not taking statins, & drastically reducing carbohydrates has had a very beneficial effect on my health. I use cholesterol reducing marge & oat bran to control my cholesterol. It was 7.6 10 years ago & is steady at about 5.0 now. [/QUOTE]
