Hi All,

Just read the above threads and I am concerned.
I have Diabetis and have been prescribed Simvastin for high Cholesterol since October this year. My Cholesterol then was 14.3, with diet control and meds it is now down to 8.6.

Since two weeks after taking the Simvastin I developed electric shock pains down the left side of my thigh. I returned to my DD and he said it was Diabetic Neuropathy.

After reading the side effects of Statins now I am not too sure the Doctor was right, but,surley he must have known the side effects of these drugs?
