Sorry for delay, Yes that was the group. 1 experienced shooter and 7 who weren't, although I think 1 could take up the sport I the future.

Quick update. Doc rang yesterday (eventually) and is trying me on pravastatin. He explained that all statins have similar side effects and i just gotta see if i can live with them.

I started retaking the other stain on Sunday after a friend said not to stop taking it and already i can feel my muscles tightening up.

I can't dispute that as I don't know ........ but I do know people who have struggled with one and been OK on another.  I haven't had a problem with any (on Simvastatin) - which is the only one I have tried.

He said he'd try me on a lower dose initially then do blood tests and push it up need be.

It took four telephone calls to get to this stage. 😀
