57 years old male. I took Lipitor for 5 years. I didn't notice ...

My 64-year old brother-in-law has been taking Lipitor for about five years and has always complained of muscle soreness. He's had to go off it at least twice but the docs keep putting him back on it. Recently he's become weak, has some trouble swallowing, has aches and pains and has even started to slur some words. He's at the Mayo Clinic right now and they are 90% sure he has ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease. If you Google ALS Lipitor, you'll find lots of info on the possible relationship of Lipitor to ALS. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also published a paper pointing to the number of Lipitor ALS related cases. You might want to get checked out by a neurologist.

Chris, please make a report of your symptoms to the FDA. It's very easy online.
I had the exact same symptoms you have last year and even though I stopped the Lipitor and started to get better, I was eventually diagnosed with ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease. There is a link to statins.
Lipitor is poison to some people.
Hope you make a full recovery. Take CoQ10.
