Hero symptoms and conditions

From Hero to Zeroooooooo, Turning in this medication back for my cape. Rather take extra trips to the rim than a visit from the GRIM.

Hi ..this is a follow up on my first posting of Jan 31 (see kookoo). I have been off Lipitor (20mg/day) for about 6 weeks now and I feel better than before but nowhere near normal yet. Hands are stronger but weakness in arms still persists. I have not had a bad tremor incident in about 2 or more weeks. But I have a lot of involuntary twitching and light burning in my arm muscles. I constantly feel like I have a stiff sore neck and the fatigue is unbearable some days. My neurologist (my hero since he is the only one who believes this is statin related) has sent me for additional tests like EMG, MRI and thoracic vascular scan to eliminate other causes. So far all my tests have come back within normal ranges. I still cannot exercise much because when I try it seems to trigger the burning and pain in my arms. Night time is very scary to me for all my symptoms seem to heighten and I think this brings on some added anxiety which leads to sleeplessness. Well I fired my primary care physician and am scheduled to see someone new next week. Hopefully she will listen to me more intently and have some beneficial suggestions. Hang in everyone, I have to believe we are on the right track and soon someone with some sense will finally listen and do something about these terrible statin drugs. KOOKOO

I have been suffering from mirgraines once a week for the last four years. After many trials with different prescriptions I was very pleasantly surprised- no, I was ECSTATIC to find that FINALLY I had a drug that took my migraines away! Yes, there are some residual affects- I have noticed muscle aches after taking a zomig- but I would rather have some sore muscles than a migraine. My cure- a jacuzzi. I found that drinking lots of water after taking this medicine decreases the side effects! God speed! Zomig is my hero!!
