Dibeates symptoms and conditions

I've been taking low dosage of Lipitor for over 4 years. No noticable side effects until past 2-3 months. I've had severe muscle pains in arms and shoulder. I've stopped taking Lipitor and have improved greatly, although still some lingering pain in both arms.

I"m searching alternatives to statins and don't think I'll return to Lipitor. I do have type 2 dibeates and do need to monitor this. I've heard that COQ10 is essential if on statin.
