This DANGEROUS drug can cause MANY side effects. I am a victim of this POISON and I learned the hard way. The drs. and the drug co's are doing a SCAM on the anti-cholesterol drugs . . . it is all about big $$. In reality, your
mind/body NEEDS cholesterol to function properly. So many people suffer and waste time/$$/tests. . . . .. a cholesterol level of 212 is not high. . . . DON'T LET YOUR DR.TO CON YOU.
Excessive tiredness is well reported and possibly one of the first symptoms of statin poisoning, I am still fatigued 2 years since stopping the junk. I had a couple of instances of dark urine. Don't know about the thirst but I had massive taste pervisions. Most of what you need to know written by sensible honest doctors can be found at spacedoc dot net.
Excessive thirst + fatigue + Chest pain + palpitations + unexplained weight loss = hyperthyroidism. There are other possibities, but that was the first thing that jumped into my mind when I read your post. I would have a complete thyroid evaluation if I were in your shoes.
A cholesterol level of 212 is perfectly normal. BTW, that 212 is exactly what researchers found in people in Rural Crete who have very low rates of heart disease.
Lipitor can cause problems long after it has cleared your system. Dark urine is a sign of muscle breakdown, which statins are well known to cause.
