Animal foods symptoms and conditions

i have been on vytorin 10/10 for 2 yrs.Last year i started having multiple symptoms.Nausea,loss of appetite,virtigo,and now anxiety issues.i have been to cardiologist,ear doctor, neurologist,eye doctor, and had many tests and they all come back normal. I have concluded it is the vytorin maybe?i stopped 3 weeks ago and haven't felt this good in months.my energy is up and im starting to feel like my old self again.my doctor wants me to go 3 months on no meds to see what happens.at that time id like to try omega 3 and red yeast ice? anybody had good results with any of these? im 51 and in great health other than cholesterol of 250.

Hi I started taking Lipitor when I was about 41 and gradually noticed a big toe becoming numb. Then later another toe became numb. I had just started swimming about this time with fins and thought at first it may have been caused by them. But then I stopped swimming and the numbness continued. I visited a Neurologist a couple of years ago who tested for everything and found some peripheral nerve damage to the feet. I said the only thing I could think of was Lipitor. He said here was no conclusive evidence it causes this but explained how nerves are made of Lipids and lipitor limits the production of lipids. I stopped taking it but later my GP said I need to go on something for my cholesterol. He put me on Crestor. I took a Lipitor the other week and my toes tingled that night. So I am convinced it is Lipitor. I am not sure how to reverse the damage though.

Since taking Lipator I completely lost may balance.I couldn't walk through the house withu bumping into the walls and I couldn't walk down the sidewalk without shoving my husband to one side.
My skin is shriveling up and so dry it cracks. After one week of being off Lipitor my balance is back to normal, I suppose the other symptoms will take longer to get back to normal.
At first I was on a strict diet that I never varied from and still my chlorestrol did go down. The doctor said what I had was inherited chlorestol and would have to take medication for it.
So, What do I take?
