Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ladybirdy75" data-source="post: 389073" data-attributes="member: 71000">Gosh, reading all this has really got me worried :-S. i've been on Simvastatin (40mg daily) a good few years now.  I aways thought that i hadn't experienced any side affects whatsoever but having read some of your posts i am beginning to wonder if i have finally identified the root of my neck and shoulder complaints. They ache so badly most of the time and i now have lost almost my whole range of motion in my right arm due to adhesive capsulitis. There are also days when i feel like the old battery has well and teuly died a death. I've so desperately tried to get fit and healthy since going on a pump a couple of years ago but feel like my attempts to train (running, weights....... anything!!!) get thwarted by muscle pain and fatigue?!! Hmmm? Will be asking my GP about this.....who'll no doubt tell me to stay on them. I've been diabetic for 38 years now, i'm a tough old bird and i try my absolute best to manage my diabetes but since going on the pump and Simvastatin and Irbesartan (bp drug) i can't even get my bg's stabilised. My HbA1c, done last wek was 83 (9.4%) and so am due a bollocking for that too no doubt. Who'd be a diabetic eh?!!!!Sent from the <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig" target="_blank">Diabetes Forum App</a></blockquote>
