WOW! I am being treated for severe osteoarthritis in my hands and
rt shoulder. I have had flu like symptoms for 8 mons now with severe
muscle pain in my rt arm and upper back & neck; no energy; and
a fuzzy brain -- cannot concentrate. Lipitor and pravachol caused
same reactions 10 yrs ago and 15 yrs. ago. Just this week realized
that my symptoms were PROBABLY due to 40 mg of pravachol - again!

I had the same popping in the thumb joints, as well as toes, and tingling in the fingers and arms that woke me at night. I cut back my pravachol to every other day to see if that would help. If it doesn't help, I will cut my pravachol pill into a smaller dose and try that. I felt fine before I started the statin drugs.
