I have been off lipitor for about a week and am beginning to feel less pain in hips and thighs. My CPK test came back a little elevated so will remain off the lipitor for the 30 days and then begin trying another cholesterol lowering treatment (no statins). Due to a heart attack the doctor wants the colesterol to be in the lower range. I feel less fatigue since going off the lipitor and not as weak in my legs. It is still too soon to know if lipitor has been the cause.
