I am sitting hear reading these replays and crying because I am suffering the same symptoms. I have been on lipitor for over 5 years and have had repeated bouts of leg pains, head fogginess, dizziness, pain in thigh, hip, and back. I recently started having pains so bad i could not walk. The really sad part is that I am a nurse and should have known it was the lipitor. I had x-rays, ct scans, etc all negative. And today a light finally went off when I said maybe its a side effect from lipitor. And sure enough, looking at the stories here validates my late conclusion. I did not take dosage of lipitor today and will try some more natural remedies. I have scheduled to see my doctor on Wednesday to discuss this issue. Unfortunately I can barely walk without the usages of crutches. Sitting can be just horrible, i wake up in middle of night tossing and turning trying to find a position that the pain will stop in. I cry like a baby at times because of pain and maybe a little depression. This is horrible. Lipitor is an awesome drug in lowering your cholesterol but the side effects are just unbearable. I will continue to update.

Please stop taking Lipitor immediately. Unfortunately, drs. don't know about this dangerous drug. They rely the drug co's who only wants the $. As a nurse, you probably know these things. I stopped taking LIpitor in feb. and I still have the side effects. I have read some people take 6-12 months to feel better . . . . . some never get better.

If you are interested. I can help you. I have spent countless hours to research to lower cholesterol naturally and help the side effects, all natural. Just e-mail me if you want.
