Checking in again. Been off the lipitor 3 weeks now. It feels good to feel better. I feel my old self coming back. I laugh sometimes. HOORAH!!! Pain in my legs 50% gone. Hips still troubling. Legs are still weak. I don't know if its from not using them much over the past 8 mo. or the poison lipitor. Still sapping life forces from my body. My life is a wreck . I can tell life is starting to get better. The only thing different, is off the lipitor. Lets get this stuff off the market. It is debilitating, painful, causes depression, to the point you are thought of as lazy, unmotivated. The pain and ache is all you can muster to deal with on a day to day basis. it is indescribable agony. I want to kick something. For the months that I have lost of happiness. Something has got to be done. There was a move awhile back to sell this stuff over the counter. What will they think of next. I am just thankful that I am feeling better. moonman

"I have lost a lot of hapiness" tells me its not the lipitor that is causing your issue

hello there, ireland calling. my husband was on lipitor for two and a half years, now he has been diagnosed with als. we are devastated. neurogolist said to stop lipitor but insists it did not cause als. my husband was a very athletic active man, his cholestrol was at 5.8 and because his dad had died of heart attack at 58, he was put on lipitor by out gp. am i crazy or is there a link here between lipitor and als ? please anyone out there, if you are in this same position or have been, talk to me. we need answers. thank you for taking time to read this.
