I took Lipitor 20 mg for 2 weeks. After day 5, I felt like I was getting the flu. By day 7 I could hardly get off the floor. No amount of stretching would relieve the aches and pain. Weak arms, legs and my whole body ached. I operate heavy equipment and could barely climb up on it. Could no longer work out on weights or walk any distance at all. Doc says RA or Fibromyalgia or bad shoulders or it's all in my head. I'm just glad he gave me lots Hydrocodone. Still depleted, looking for energy, trying to find what I lost to Lipitor.

My doctor prescribed Singulair for my allergies and asthma last month. Immediately I began to have headaches from it - not terrible, but just there. After about 3 weeks on it, I began to have ringing in the ears also. Again, not bad, but just there. I decided to stop the Singulair (even though it was the first thing that really worked for me) on a Thursday night and the next morning I woke up with a horrible really loud noise in my left ear like a piece of heavy equipment and dizziness! I went to urgent care that Sunday and they put me on a round of prednisone - didn't work at all. I went back to my allergy doctor and she is VERY concerned, as I have "significant hearing loss" in my left ear. She referred me to a different doctor where I have to go today for a procedure to have my eardrum slit open and steroids injected behind it. I am beyond upset. This is ridiculous!
