I was on 20 mg for a little more than a year.At the same time I limited my fat intake to about 50 grams/day. I lowered my numbers pretty well and lost 15 pounds unfortunately much of it lean mass. Slowly my 53 year old body, which was in good shape, started to feel old. Subtle loss of coordination and balance, especially fine motor skill in my hands. I chalked it up to getting older. Also my wife wondered about my irritability which wasn't normal for me.Finally cramping that got worse was followed by twitching in my legs and then pins and needles sensations. It came on slowly enough that the light bulb didn't go on.Oh I was starting to have neck and shoulder discomfort too.So I did a little research and thought I was getting ALS or parkinson's until I saw the Lipitor sites. I was so pissed at myself for letting my doctor and the brainwashing of drug companies go against my better judgment to never take the stuff. Its been two months off the poison and I'm feeling like myself again. I still have the tingling and twitching in my legs but my strength and coordination is better. All I can say is get off the crap and just change your lifestyle. I threw a year of my life away for nothing!
