Lipitor Atorvastatin Calcium — 

Lipitor 20m, cholesterol lowing statin drug.  I took Lipitor for about 5 years. It did lower my cholesterol levels to under 200 and trigliserides by about have,  I started getting cramps in my legs during the 4th year. My blood tests all came back fine and the doctor attributed the cramps to syatica.  I awoke one morning in the 5th year and could hardly move. I could not bend over without being in severe pain,  Lifting my arms became a problem.  I was progressivly getting worse day by day. My daughter, a nurse, told me tostop the lipitor.  I took her advise and slowly found myself felling normal again. I have not taken this drug in over a year and feeling no more reactions to it. I now take an over the counter supplement. (red yeast rice.)
