The first of the nightmare was the cramps, aches and pains in my legs. eventually it spread to almost all over my body. I felt like could not wlk across the drive way without struggling. I am 51 years old and, without exageration, I felt like I was 81. It came on so slowly that I did not relate it to the Lipitor at first. A client of mine was the one to happen to mention one of his family member's experience to Lipitor and that's what clued me in. I stopped it that day. I have listed symtpoms below that I am suffering from. At least we can commisurate and e-mail with others who understand and know we are not making this up. 1.) extreme muscle/joint aches and pains 2.) extreme fatigue (falling asleep almost anywhere) loss of energy 3.) weight gain and bloating, especially in stomach area without any increase in food intake. 4.) urinary incontinance 5.) sweling in left leg and ankle 6.) swelling and pain feet 7.) depression 8.) memory loss 9.) loss of mental accuity 10.) increased oiliness of skin and hair 11.) loss of equilibrium 12.) diarrhea 13.) eyesight deteriorated rapidly 14.) irritability 15.) itching ended pretty soon after I stopped taking the Lipitor. Most of these symptom come and go but someof them seem like they are here to stay. Is there a class action law suit that might prevent this happening to more innocent, unsuspecting people? Is there a list of things people can do to help the symtpoms? Another friend in need - Rebecca

I have been to the E.R twice since March of 07 I get very strange episode of fatigue, weak in the same time my stomach get all kind of weirred feeling like hungry feeling, acid, then passing soft stool every 10-15 minutes. but they come together, the stomach and weakness. the the E.R they called unexplained muscle weakness and gave me a relaxer, because I was scared of what is going on with me. I almost feel like I am going to pass out. but once I pass the stool I feel better until next one. I also along with this I get the feeling like I lost the feeling of my lower legs and sharp pain in the bottom of my feet. though I stopped the Lipitor 4 weeks ago I still get some of the symptoms but not as much. can you please tell me about you mentioned diarrgea, was it like me. I am very scared and all the doctors telling me it is in my head since I have done all kind of the test you can think of and everything came fine. I get scared to go out because it might just happened while I am driving or meeting a client. it last for a while then I am fine for couple days. Can you please advise me more about your stomach. also I noticed myself I am very short with people and I am usually very kind and patience. I am not myself.
