[QUOTE="Smeggers, post: 2485539, member: 552391"] I had the same problems with Simvastatin and eventually was changed to Atorvastatin. I have to say, I think GPs are too willing to add statins to regimes when cholesterol lowering is better through changed diet and exercise. I understand that isn't easy for some people, but I have found that by reducing my fat intake (butter, cheese, milk and meat fats), I have managed to keep my cholesterol to around 4.0. I use skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and olive oil spreads. I also cut all the fat off my meat. I think that is the sort of advice Doctors, Nutritionists and Dieticians should be giving out. [/QUOTE]
