Simvastatin
I am on 80mg of Simvastatin recently being changed from 80mg of Atorvastatin. Atorvastatin caused very bad cramps in the legs at night I'd be interested to know how people have found Simvastatin. Thanks, Dossy T

Can I take these at the same time??
I always take my extended-release metoprolol with a bit of food. Two hours later (stomach supposedly empty), I take my Flecainide and lisinopril. I wait another two hours without eating, and then have brunch. Is it ok to take these 5, listed below, all together ***at the same time*** with brunch?

Does Simvastatin cause onset of Myasthenia Gravis?
The connection between Simvastatin and PMR is established, and I would be grateful for any feedback on the statement below: The use of blood cholesterol-lowering medications called statins is linked to a small risk of myasthenia gravis (MG), according to a large World Health Organization database study

Can Simvastatin bring about the onset of Myasthenia Gravis?
I understand there is a connection between Simvastatin and onset of PMR, but has anyone had experience of it causing Myasthenia Gravis please. My friend is on Simvastatin and just been diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. I've googled it and found this: The use of blood cholesterol-lowering medications
