Have been on Simvastatin for 3 years now,have noticed my fingernails becoming extremely soft,and have had burning foot pain. Most worrying side effect I have had is a dangerous slowing of reactions if I ever have to drive after taking my dose at night.Frightening !! Has anybody else experienced this please.

I have been taking Simvastatin for 10 years, initially 20mg daily but increased to 40mg in the last year. I have noticed progressive softening of my finger nails- they split and break even with such minor trauma as fastening a button. I have not seen this reported elsewhere.
