Just to update you (as you were kind enough to be interested) - I went to the doc today about the arm pains. I saw the practice nurse who is knowledgeable IMO, she took bloods, so is waiting for them to come back. In the meantime I told her that I'd taken myself off simvastatin since last Tuesday because I couldn't suffer the arm pains any longer (they were starting to keep me awake) - she's suggesting that I stay off them until the blood results come back a) to see the levels and b) to see if the pain goes (and it is easing). If then I need an intervention she's suggesting 20mg atorvastatin (rather than my current 40mg) being as Lipitor is 100% synthetic it may affect me differently - but I'm also going to have a proper go at diet to see if that will keep the levels down. I am not good with food so it will need a good deal of will-power!
I also had my flu jab, so I am feeling thoroughly perforated tonight.
