I started taking Lipitor a couple of years ago after a CBC showed that my overall cholesterol was pretty high, and my bad cholesterol, I forget which it is, LDL or HDL was especially high. Also, although not specifically made for it, my triglicerides were through the roof due to my poor eating habits, which consisted mostly of sweets. I have Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome and Fibromyalgia and it has progressed over the past 33 years to where I can seldom get out of bed, cook for myself, or do any exercises. Except for occasionally being able to get out of the house to go out to dinner, I mostly eat t.v. dinners, cookies, puddings, and, unfortunately a lot of candy. So I started on Lipitor and by my first blood check up, I was in the normal range for cholesterol overall and had elevated my bad cholesterol, but the biggest surprise to me was that my triglicerides were actually within normal range, despite not changing my terrible diet. I had no side effects, so I considered Lipitor to have worked wonders for me.
