Yes, didn't feel I could ride a bicycle for nearly a month. After that first month all was fine.

Did you stop taking them back in February when you were new to them and shaking?

If you're still shaky 2 and a half months later I'd go back to your GP

I started statins about a month ago and I've been fine. Is it one of the known side-effects?

I never noticed any side effects either, that sounds horrible.

No I didn’t have that. I do get ridiculous dreams though.

I felt really sick for the first three or four days on mine, then it went. I've been on them for 6 years with no issues.
