I am 72 also and have now developed pain in both shoulder joints. I have been on Lipitor for nearly 10 years. I have some weakness in the legs. I have been taking CQ 10 for several years.
Sleeping is very difficult.

I suggest that you stop taking this dangerous drug before you have more problems. The drs. and the drug co's are doing a SCAM on anti-cholesterol drugs . . .it is all about big $$$ . In reality, your mind/body needs cholesterol to function. Don't let your dr. to con you.
