Tbsp symptoms and conditions

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!

My husband was on Lipitor. After only 4 days, he would "walk" into a wall if he got up in the middle of the night. He was confused and unsteady on his feet. I had him stop taking it. We also tried Zocor..same effect. Eventually we hit on a regemin of good diet, Garlique and drinking vinegar(about 2 TBSP. /day) This helped lower his cholesterol some. Then the doctor said he HAD to take Lipitor or he would have MORE heat damage (previously had an attack).He did take it for 4 weeks, BUT the symptoms came back plus tiredness, GROUCHINESS, and muscle pains; also cold extremities. He is off the Lipitor again. After reading this website, I will NEVER let him take it again. We will try harder with his diet and hopefully increase his exercise(mostly walking).
I think we are very fortunate to not have been on it a longer time. Some of you suffered alot. God Bless.
