I AM SOOOO RELIEVED THAT I' M NOT ALONE!!! I thought I was going crazy or something. I started taking Lipitor 10mg in Oct '06, then in January 2007 my "a.r.n.p" not an MD, increased my dosage to 40mg.....(the lab tests indicated that my cholesterol had not gone down any), which she didn't bother to check up on after prescribing such a huge dose. You know, like within 2-3 mos. Now comes my appointment with her Dec 4 2007, they do labs and low and behold I have inflammation of my liver!!! She called me in a panic and told me to immediately stop taking the Lipitor. Now my body feels like it's going to break. (a couple of weeks before I went to the doctor I started feeling like crap.....lethargic, can't raise my arms above my head without crying, knees aching to the point of not being able to walk,etc) It's even worse now.....now I can't hardly go to sleep at night, my arms just below my shoulders ache to the point of agony, I had arthritis in my knees - but now I can hardly walk without holding onto something - which is very hard to do when your arms won't function properly. I HATE THIS !!! There was absolutely nothing wrong with my liver prior to this medicine. Now I'm worried that I'll have irreparable damage to my liver, not to mention all this pain in my arms, wrists, thumbs, knees and hips. (Last night I just couldn't take it anymore and I took some Tylenol - I was instructed by my physician not to take anything at all for pain.....RIGHT) I've been wishing this misery on her since it started - just for her prescribing this mess to me!!!! I am 50 yrs old and feeling older as time goes by. Thanks so much for listening and letting me share with you all; someone who really understands my pain!! I'm so glad to know I'm not alone in this. I have contacted an attorney - this is ridiculous that humans could do this to other humans. I'll look for another means to get my cholesterol down (right now it's only 129!! - But I feel like I just crawled out of my grave. I'd rather have high cholesterol.... I dread the night coming (pain is almost intolerable then) Good luck you guys - I'll include you all in my prayers!! B. Carpenter
