I am 62 years old and I was taking Lipitor 10 mg for the last 5 y...

I suggest that you stopped taking this dangerous drug . . .ASAP. This poison can cause MANY side effects . . . .I know since I am a victim of Lipitor. Your levels are way too low. Your mind/body need cholesterol to function. Unfortunately, the drs. are drug-happy since the drug business is a HUGE racket. All the statins are the same. If necessary, there are many natural products and alternatives to control your cholesterol.

Statin is only one letter away from "Satin" If you only want to live to 63 keep taking them, If you want go to 93 kick them into touch. High grade Coq10, fish oil, maggnessium and Vitamin C have helped heaps of us victims. Australian aboriginal people have the highest recorded rate of heart disease and the lowest cholestrol, Swiss people have the lowest rate of heart disease and the highest cholestrol - world health organization data, scarry. Best wishes for a swift recovery, also get more info for yourself from spacedoc dot net.

If I were you I would get off the drug and not take any of these drugs. Go to spacedoc.net and read what these drugs do to you..Good luck. Talk to pharmacist as well and do something naturally.

Understand that lowering cholesterol is a business. Its all about money. We are customers. The drug industry has been selling us on lowering cholesterol. Its a racket. Notice they NEVER talk about how cholesterol helps your health? That would be bad for sales. And increasing sales numbers is the name of the game.

If a doctor reads this blog, can please let me know one of the side effects of Lipitor could be blood in the urine and high blood pressure? These are symtoms that I developed after my muscle pains stopped.
Of course I went to the doctor and I had Xrays, blood tests and urine test. Waiting for results. I am scheduled for Cat Scan and cistoloscopy(?) next week.
Please help...

Most people waste their $ and time getting a lot of tests. Drs. don't know about the side effects and don't care, they just push dangerous drugs since that's all they know. I am sure you will find your answers are stemmed from this poison.

I had high blood pressure, massive painful heart spasms, irregular heartbeat and green gunk in my urine, amongst my other countless cruel side effects. I now have low blood pressure, very steady heart beat, clear urine. I infrequenty have heart spasms now and the are far less inrensity. I was as terrified at the time as what you seem now and it is horrific you certainly have a lot of "experienced victims" sympathy. What harm can you do yourself loading up on high quality COQ10, fish oil, maggnessium and Vit C? and I mean load up for a few weeks. Good luck.
