I had been taking Lipitor for several years without side effects. Then, after an operation for a blocked intestine, all hell broke loose: I haveseverere neck pain 9 on scale of 1 to 10. I have extreem fatigue. I have a neuropathic numbness & tingling in the outer 1/8 inch of my skin from my forehead to my ankles. My hands twitch to the point a cannont safely hold things. I have low grade neusia I have la oss of ballance while walking. My physician had me stop taking Lipitor [40 mg/day] This is third day off: I am experiencing severe itching on arms, back, legs, etc. God help us all when adequate stuties for neuropathic damage and information have not been given our doctors or us!
