[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1905461, member: 209498"] When I first took Simvastatin I did get muscle pain in my shoulders and upper arms. I stopped taking them, but my gp persuaded me to take them again. Idid and the muscle pain did go after a few weeks. I took the statins for about 6-7 years until I was diagnosed T2, and found that they might have been a contributory factor to my diagnosis, among others. I don't think my cholesterol is too high, 5.5 at HbA1c this month, so I have declined my gps advice to go on them again. From what I read higher cholesterol may be beneficial for older men. [/QUOTE]
