[QUOTE="mrspuddleduck, post: 883496"] Not advocating this for everyone but I stopped taking Simvastatin in Feb/March. Firstly because it made me feel awful with terrible muscular pains in my legs, and secondly I read everything I could get my hands on about Statins and decided I could find no clinical or rational reason for me personally to take them. Since stopping them my levels have gone down! I was totally upfront with the docs explaining why I was refusing them. Had a hard time from the GP, but interestingly the diabetic consultant agreed with me and said as long as I continue with a healthy diet it was OK by them. Guess it just depends on which doctor you happen to speak to???? Sue x [/QUOTE]
