A grateful thank you to Adele and Oldcarpetcleaner- I am so sorry that you having such problems- but it is reassuring to know that I am alone- I am going to the U of Miami Liver Institute next week- and I will ask about CO-Q10; I have had a muscle biopsy-and I will make every effort not to have a liver biopsy- I will try to find out what the time frame is for muscular pains- weakness- even AFTER discontinuing Lipitor. The bizarre thing -for me- is that the pain and weakness travel- not always in the same spot- but almost always reamin in my buttocks. The reason I ignored it for a couple of monthes as I was so actively doing squats aand weights- and thought it was the exercise. This drug seems to have had bad consequences for so many otherwise- previously healthy people.I will repost after I attend the liver Institute- -by the way- finding a true Liver Hepatologist- (NOT a gastroenterologist- they have liver and I have to travel to Miami . Good luck everybody.

Maxine, just wondered if you have any new information for us regarding muscle myopathy? How did your visit to the liver institute go. did they find anything new there. I'm still struggling with muscle weakness even though I've been off of lipitor for 5 months now. Will this ever go away? Adele
