I am 45 and have been taking statins for 5 years since having 3 heart attacks in a 4 day period.At first I was on Atorvastatin 10mg and didn't suffer any side affects,I was put on Simvastatin 40mg 2 years ago due to cost.Since then I suffer with very sore muscle pain down the length of my right arm.My GP keeps on prescribing painkillers and doesn't mention the fact it may be side affects of the Simvastatin.I find it sad that costs of drugs are the reason I am in pain.

The drugs caused it real bad for me. If you look for drmike on this site and also under zocor and lipitor, he is a retired nice surgeon. He has links that show a cardiologist is saying that statins cause cardio damage, check him out. Does urine, bowel, sexual, memory, agitation, itches, sweats, shocking dreams, bone idle laziness ring any bells with you. Good luck and research COQ10 it really helps the hydrosoluable version. Also go to spacedoc dot net this internet address is written in long hand. Best to you.
