I am 59 and am experiencing the leg aches and cramps, taking 60 mg lipitor. I believe that I will try other things...like niacin and grapefruit pectin (Profibe). I will cut back the Lipitor to 20 mg...before I experienced muscle problems...and see where to go from there. I think we all are more familiar with our own bodies and when aches and pains seem un natural for our activities, we must look elsewhere for the source... and try some other methods to help out. Dr. Atkins is also on my list to try. His book is very positive about reducing cholesterol through low/no carb diet. Maybe he's right?
