i've been taking lipitor for a few years (had been on baycol),. a couple of years ago, i began experiencing increasing joint and muscle pain that is now so severe that i am wodering if it's worth living with such pain. i'm very depressed. the pain is often so severe that it limits my ability to walk and climb stairs, to lift anything heavier than a few pounds. i've had some excruciating thigh cramps, and more recently, i have noticed a generalized weakness all over my body. it scares me to stop taking some statin drug because my cholesterol was very high without them, but my quality of life is so drastically affected that i think i have to. i believe it's very dangerous stuff. | limits my ability to walk | walking disability |

- chest muscle pains. - pins and needles in legs and arms. - numbness in fingers, reduced hand grip power. - numbness/pain in back. - numbness/headache in forehead. - numbness in mouth. - headache that lasts for days. -my sight also gets tired from computer a lot easier than before. the week i started to take i had the chest ache, confirmed to be muscular by doctors. at the start of the second week, i accidentally took a dose in the morning instead of the night because i took the wrong pill (skipped the night dose). the day after i started to have the other symptons. the worst one - the mouth one has faded, but the others remain. i found out too late grapefruit juice can make this drug stronger. i drank it some days during the first 2 weeks. stopped drinking it. at the beginning of third week i took 50mg of coq10 per day for 3 days. i couldn't sense an improvement, but after stopping for other three days i will try again. (i need better evidence before buying a can of coq10, it is very expensive and hard to find around here). will beg my cardiologist to let me try natural exercise before continuing statins. giving it a 3, because it was effective , in a single month and with ezetimibe and exercise all my numbers are in very safe ranges. please be careful about natural supplements. homeopathy simply does not work - it is just water - the supplements that do work may also have side effects, just like the drugs. red yeast rice, for example, actually contains a statin (lovastatin) , so it will most likely have all the set of side effects as the other statins. | sight gets tired | asthenopia |
