Yes I too can add my name to this list of individuals who are having side effect. I went to my doctor about a week ago complaining about
Subject: Re: Lipitor side effects
Date: July 25, 2002 at 5:24 pm PST
my vision problems, muscle spasms, general fatigue and overall weakness
joint and muscle problems, and an overall sense of irritablity that just dosen't leave. His answer was that I'm getting old. So needless to
say I convinced that it may very well be the Lipitor causing these
problems.
I may very well be lookin for another Doctor and I sure would love to get off this medication. I would like to find a natural way to control my Lipid/Triglceride problem.
If anyone has heard of a natural safe way to contol overexcessive
triglceride formation by the liver, I sure would be willing to look at it. So far I'm doin pretty good. I a year I have brought my total cholesterol down from 300 to 210. Triglcerides from 1250 to 650.
I still have a long way to go. But I have quit smokin after 25 years
and have modified my diet. Started excercizing and I am trying everyhing
that I can think of to control my cholesterol. Maybe there is no one so called
magic pill that you can take. Maybe it a matter of life style changes that need to take place. Who knows for sure? But I am still researching
and trying to get answers. The funny thing that I have discovered is
that everybody in this world is uniquely different from one another and
what may work for one may not nessecarily for for another.
