I also strongly recommend what the post below says about good disability insurance. It's too late now for me to have taken such excellent advice. I WAS a perfectly healthy 49 year old UNTIL I was on this so called poison called lipitor for 3 months. Now I got all kinds of back and neck problems and getting out of bed can be very difficult at times. 3 months of lipitor has aged me 40 years. I now feel like I'm 90. I can't believe the ignorance of the medical profession to actually prescribe this drug after there's been so many reported problems with it and all the other statins. I only wish I did my research before taking this drug instead of relying on the so called expert advice of the doctor than I would not have been in the position I am today and would have been perfectly healthy instead. You have been warned.
