Hundred years symptoms and conditions

I am 60 years old female & have been taking Lipitor for about 4 years. I recently went off the drug for 3 months, & in that time much of the muscle pain I was experiencing began to lesson. I have pain in both arms from the below up to my shoulder. Hip pain & leg cramps. I have trouble sleeping & absolutely no sex drive. Of course, my Cholesterol went sky high, over 300. I have only been back on 80 mgs for a month and a half, & all of the aches and pains are back ten fold. I feel a hundred years old.I have to make a big decision...die of high Cholesterol, or live a life of constant pain and sleep deprivation. This is really bad. I f I had to run or crawl to save my life, I'd never make it.

I have been on the ring for the past 2.5 years and have personally experienced almost every nasty side effect that every one has listed here. My breasts are tender and I have absolutely NO sex drive, NONE whatsoever. I feel like I could go without sex for the next hundred years and I wouldnt miss anything. I have been depressed and moody and irritable and I have been fighting with my husband ALL the time. Not to mention that I feel like Im the most unlucky and unhappy person on earth, etc. Right now I think I am driving my poor husband to insanity. Best part is that like all depressed people I blame him for everything thats wrong in my life! I did not have too much weight gain because of the ring. I also did not experience too many problems with discharge or pains. But this month I tried skipping a period by inserting a new ring as soon as I removed it and I ABSOLUTELY HATE the experience. Its like all of my symptoms have got magnified 10 times. I have had enough of this and Im stopping the ring next week when my three week cycle is complete. I have had weight gain problems with the pill before, so Im not going back to it. My husband and I will have to device other ways of controlling pregnancy. This is just not for me!
