Statin users....

I take simvastatin for my cholesterol. I don't have any particular aches and pains that I notice outside what would normally come with the problems I have. My doctor has told me that their are other options for meds that they can try if the simvastatin causes the kind of side effects you mention. I think my dad had to try something else. Simvastatin is not the only choice available. It might just be the only generic choice which can make a difference.
