This is an update from my first posting earlier this year. I still have localized pain in my neck and shoulder area sometimes extending down my arms to my fingertips. I am 58 years old and stopped taking Lipitor 5 months ago. I am always in discomfort but the very severe pain comes in waves at least 3-4 times a month and lasts for about 1-2 days. I have noticed an improvement since stopping Lipitor but my cholesterol count is on its way up so I am trying to control that. Not an easy task but at least I am not totally debilitated as I was in January and February. I am totally off all meds and vitamins as of this writing. I am trying to cleanse myself and start over with diet and exercise. Hang tough ... this is definitely the battle of your life!!! KooKoo

hi,very greatful for your recovery to hear,my father was on lipitor with a very severe side effect muscle weakness and low energy doctor switched to zetia same side effect as lipitor,quit 3 months ago but some days he is very good like 80%normal but some days he is very very weak .i am asking does your recovery was like this or what?but intrestingly he cholestrol is under control if you have intrested you can research and try fenugreek tea from seed it is very powerful for bringing down cholestrol as well as blood sugar and tricglycride .80%of cholestrol is made in liver so healthy liver healthy cholestrol level.endive,,radish,turnip,turmaric,dill,ginger,and garlic are very helpful to bringing cholestrol down.remember liver always love bitter taste.and also for my father milk thistle is really helped him too coz it cleans liver and remove toxin out of system.research about it and if you find that they are helpful and... .good luck,hasina

Hi I'm about on par with your progress myself. 54 yr male. I still need serious pain killers daily, having been off statins since mid Dec 07. Twice I have stopped taking my COQ10 supplements and I've paid for it, 3 days after going back on my COQ10 pain levels down 18 - 25% and energy levels up about the same. My mental, emotional and memory problems are continually improving. I still don't like myself or the barstard who did this to me and reckon I've probably got a year to go, but at least I'm optomistic I'll get there. There has been 2 old fellas in Australia recently lost the plot and killed harmed their family sure makes me wonder about medicines. Good luck from New Zealand
