Thanks: Gave 705, Got 434 | I'm dreading tonight
My Dad has asked me, my brother and my sister to get together to discuss some 'bad news' about my Mum. I'm crapping myself, all sorts of things are going though my mind but it must be serious. She had a heart attack a couple of years ago due to high cholesterol and has been on statins ever since. Recently she's complained of falling over and pain in her arms , even when lifting food to eat. I know what that might mean but I don't even wanna go there. I just hope to god it's not as bad as I fear. Might need a shoulder to cry on later folks.....

I feel bad if your mum has had some bad news, but still feel relieved that it wasn't what we feared.

Cool, glad to hear all went ok, nothing worse than fearing for a loved one.
All the best.

They may/possibly be associated with the statins, which can cause all sorts of weird and wonderful side effects which sometimes come on suddenly after months or years of use. A blood test may indicate this.
Glad she's alright!

Thanks for the kind wishes | I saw your original post but didn't feel I could really post anything in response that would help - very glad to hear your Mum is ok!
