i developed constipation and flatulence, which i had rarely suffered from before taking lipitor. i developed hemorrhoids and even after increasing fluids and correcting the constipation, they did not go away. after a year of taking lipitor my urine started feeling as if it was corrosive when it touched my skin and i developed a rash that i could not get rid of. about a month ago, i started to get muscle problems in my legs that made it difficult for me to get up from a sitting position. i have also been experience tremendous neck pain in my shoulders that was causing severe headaches. after two weeks off lipitor my rash and the hemorrhoids are gone. the weakness in my legs seems to have diminished somewhat in the last day or so, making it easier to get up from a sitting position. my neck is still a problem and has not really improved but i am hoping that it will get better over time.

very blurred vision and lower back pain. i had a sudden loss of vision and attributed it to getting older. after reading literature on another medication a light bulb went off and i realized the blurry vision was probably due to the drug lipitor and am stopping the drop today. my vision is so blurry it feels like i need glasses.

musculoskeletal stiffness
neuronal apoptosis (brain cell death) as evidenced on mri scan, and confirmed by brain biopsy with electron microscopy, mitochondrial dna mutations, similar to that of melas, mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes. evidenced by brain biopsy w/ electron microscopy, as well as serial lactic acid levels consitently well above normal range, as well as a muscle biopsy studied under electron microscopy. i was 34 years old when i was hospitalized for nearly 1 month, leaving me permanently and totally disabled. i was a critical care registered nurse for the prior 12 years. i loved my job and have only 1 regret, that i ever educated people on the dangers of high cholesterol, and convinced them to take these poisons. cholesterol has very little to do with heart disease, and all statins are toxic. see www.spacedoc.net a site by a former family physician/nasa flight surgeon, disabled by his use of lipitor. if you want more proof, email me ////// i have a ton of it. i want to educate people as to the real cause of heart disease.

muscle pain in left arm and upper back. hair dryness, breakage and loss. i was able to stop the muscle pain in its tracks by taking coq10 supplements but the hair dryness, breakage and loss is not good. currently trying to find a supplement to counter hair loss. if i can find something, i will stay on lipitor. it has lowered my cholesterol from 11.7 to 7 ! my doctor wanted me to switch from lipitor to lipidil micro as i was so upset by the hair loss and muscle pain but i have stopped having muscle pain by taking coq10 and before i switch to another drug that may have other side effects, i want to research it (lipidil) further. if anyone has experienced hair loss on lipidil please let me know.

body aches, joint pain, decreased mobility, decreased testosterone and libido, difficulty getting out of bed in the morning, tingling and itchy hands,and decrease in overall strength. i have been taking lipitor for many years. i started out on 10mgs and now i am on 40mgs. i have had hip replacement, back surgery, and shoulder surgery while on this drug. i have seen my strength decrease dramatically. i have to be on testosterone replacement. my brother is also on lipitor and has had recent knee surgery for a torn miniscus and acl. he is also on testosterone therapy. im only 47 and he is 45. this sounds like alot of physical problems for guys our age. it wasnt until he mentioned that he had heard about the possible dangers that statins have on tendons that i saw all of these other people and their problems with lipitor. this could be the reason for many things that i have been suffering physically. i am getting off the lipitor immediately for a few months to see if some of my symptoms get better. fish oil, niacin, vitimin c, and a healthy diet!!!.

i was on 5mg - cut a 10mg pill in half. after about 2 weeks taking it i woke up with leg cramps. during the day if i squatted (e.g. in the garden) or tried to get on a ladder i got foot/leg cramps. i mentioned it to my doctor who said it couldn't possibly be related to the lipitor . it kept getting worse and worse - legs began feeling very tired, couldn't go up stairs easily, had cramping events in my legs 3-4 times a day. i took 5mg/day of lipitor for a year but finally quit as my legs were hurting too much. most cramping stopped within a couple of days but there was a long tail - it has only been in the last two years that all cramping stopped (having been off since 2005). it did help get my tc down to 180 from 220, and my hdl to 70-90 frum 30. my legs are still very weak even now - but they don't cramp. my physician said it was all in my head.

was on lipitor 10 mg per day for about 5 years and experienced chronic and acute back pain which gradually improved but seemed strange to me because i hadn't really done anything to strain my back muscles. new doc gave me a different statin but i had leg cramps so he put me on baycol. baycol was removed from market so next doc put me back on lipitor. my cholesterol level increased to slightly over 200 so my doc increased dosage to 40 mg a day. hand and leg cramps returned. hands diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome and i wore a hand brace to sleep several nights a week which controlled the symptoms. recently developed inflammation of my foot muscles and joints and (apparently) plantar fasciitis of my left foot. doc prescribed 800 mg motrin qid but the foot problems became worse. general weakness in my feet, calves, and hands and tingling and burning in the soles of my feet. depression, for which i've been taking an ssri for about two years and may not be related to the lipitor. i had high cholesterol (over 350) and was prescribed lipitor in 1996 after other methods failed to have much effect. i have taken two stress tests over the past ten years and was told i had a healthy cardiovascular system with no trace of heart disease. i am 6' tall, weighed 177 lbs., and considered myself healthy until recently. i need to be able to pass a physical readiness test, including a 1.5 mile run, every 6 months because i'm in the military. i took myself off lipitor because i can not take the physical readiness test. in fact i need a cane in the morning to get out of bed. i am not overweight. i was told to stretch and exercise more but that has not helped my symptoms, which have continued to worsen. until recently i walked to work and shopping, 4 or 5 miles most weekdays, and more on the weekends. i also ran 2 miles, 3 times a week. now i have difficulty walking and problems with my balance and i've gained 10 pounds because i've become sedentary. two days after taking myself off lipitor my feet have improved a little and i'm looking forward to resuming a more active lifestyle. i think my symptoms are a result of lipitor.

was on lipitor 10 mg per day for about 5 years and experienced chronic and acute back pain which gradually improved but seemed strange to me because i hadn't really done anything to strain my back muscles. new doc gave me a different statin but i had leg cramps so he put me on baycol. baycol was removed from market so next doc put me back on lipitor. my cholesterol level increased to slightly over 200 so my doc increased dosage to 40 mg a day. hand and leg cramps returned. hands diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome and i wore a hand brace to sleep several nights a week which controlled the symptoms. recently developed inflammation of my foot muscles and joints and (apparently) plantar fasciitis of my left foot. doc prescribed 800 mg motrin qid but the foot problems became worse. general weakness in my feet, calves, and hands and tingling and burning in the soles of my feet. depression, for which i've been taking an ssri for about two years and may not be related to the lipitor. i had high cholesterol (over 350) and was prescribed lipitor in 1996 after other methods failed to have much effect. i have taken two stress tests over the past ten years and was told i had a healthy cardiovascular system with no trace of heart disease. i am 6' tall, weighed 177 lbs., and considered myself healthy until recently. i need to be able to pass a physical readiness test, including a 1.5 mile run, every 6 months because i'm in the military. i took myself off lipitor because i can not take the physical readiness test. in fact i need a cane in the morning to get out of bed. i am not overweight. i was told to stretch and exercise more but that has not helped my symptoms, which have continued to worsen. until recently i walked to work and shopping, 4 or 5 miles most weekdays, and more on the weekends. i also ran 2 miles, 3 times a week. now i have difficulty walking and problems with my balance and i've gained 10 pounds because i've become sedentary. two days after taking myself off lipitor my feet have improved a little and i'm looking forward to resuming a more active lifestyle. i think my symptoms are a result of lipitor.
