fannyanne,
I have been in your shoes, only ended up in the emergency room because the pain was so severe.
In July I started taking a natural product called Bioslife Complete. It is listed in the Physicians Desk Reference and is the only natural product on the market today that will lower your LDL cholesterol while raising your HDL levels by as much as 29%. This product (it is an orange flavored drink) will also help to lower your blood sugar and most people that are compliant with taking their drink before their 2 largest meals and follow a sensible eating plan will get to stop taking their medications for the type 2 diabetes, it is remarkable. It has had such a profound effect on my life that I became a franchise owner with this company. Please check my website and feel free to contact me, I will be glad to help you in any way.

just reading what you had written about your shoulder and arm thats even puzzled me more believe me or not it was only yesterday that i went to my doctors again complaining of the same thing pain in my arm and shoulder cant hardly move it being my right arm as well makes it more of a nuisance been like this for few weeks now not getting any better worse in fact he now tells me i have a frozen shoulder got to have injection for it to go away which i will do so , but did read up tonight about it on com and it said that people who are diabetic are likely to this trouble ( so )thought i could ease your mind any way please let me know how you get on ( it seems to me we ;r like 2 birds in 1 nest ) barbie

11 months since stopping statins I am more active but I still need pain killer. The largest majority of all your body malfunctions that have taken place since starting statins i believe are more than likely caused by the statins. I contine to ride my physical and mental dysfunctions out and the improvement though slow is definate. The withdrawals for me after ceasing the statins were at times worse than when I was taking them. Postive outlook positive food and a sceptical outlook to white coats all helps in the end. Best to you.
