Pain issues symptoms and conditions

Who am I? Where am I? Ok its not that bad...but seriously, I have been on this drug for four weeks. My best description is feeling like im in slow motion. I used to be quick witted, with fair intelligence, seems like I am senile. I am taking this drug for chronic back pain issues. I have had pain for over a year, almost everyday. I was at a point of desperation, Im not sure now if its all worth it. I experience blurred vision a lot, I still get random pains/aches in certain places, I have noticed a strong ammonia smell with urination, last night I had serious heart palpitations. My pain level is decreased, and that feels great, I just dont think I want to feel like this. I cant even remember if I took my dosage this morning!

I began taking 100 mg x2 per day for ten days for a bacterial infection. I am 48 years old and I have Fibromyalgia and arthritis pain issues as well as other health problems. By day three of taking doxy, my pain issues increased dramatically. My legs burn and the pain the runs from the waist to the heels of my feet are not something that has happened to me before...thus, I surmize it is the doxy. My legs and feet burn and hurt so much that it is difficult to walk and to sleep as even resting them on the mattress keeps me awake at night. I tried taking it with a tbsp. of peanut butter and a small glass of milk and in 15 minutes I vomit. I need to have considerable food in my stomach and yet, I have great stomach pain that comes in waves. This is a very difficult medicine to take!

wow. It is great and depressing to read these. Here is my saga. Started Lipitor 10 mg in late 2002. Told my internist that I had muscle weakness in early 2003. She said it couldn't be the lipitor because it would have shown up sooner. So, I stayed on it until this fall the pain got so bad that I had an MRI that showed arthritis. I could barely walk in the mornings and nothing seemed to help. Was being treated for arthristis on celebrex and pain killers when a friend came to visit for New York and told me about her pain issues with Zocor. I took my last lipitor on Christmas Eve and already feel better. The pain in the left leg is still there and the knee problems. Lots of you are asking when the pain goes away. Does anyone know.
