Lipitor and kidney infection

I have been taking lipitor for about 4 yrs. now. I feel fatigue, joints pains, back pains, neck pains, especially my hands and arms. I was recently hospitalized for 5 days with a bad kidney infection which lead to a blood infection. To this day my doctor can not understand what really caused it. All my bood test for kidney problems come back normal. I also have noticed loss of memory and my moods have changed dramatically. My husband and family get very frustrated with me alot lately. After reading all these emails and side effects that people are suffering from, I have decided to stop taking this medication today and see what results occur from doing so. I will get back with results.

Hi, I never really thought about why I feel the way I do until now that I have decided to check out this site. I too feel very fatigue, aches and pains all over my joints. I feel tired all the time no energy. I am 41 yrs old and am always sick. My hand hurt the most. The back of my neck and lower back hurt very much also. I have had some memory loss and my moods have changed drastically. My husband is always telling me whats wrong now. My family never knows what to expect from day to day. I am going to stop taking lipitor today and see what happens. Maybe this is the answer I have been looking for. I too was hospitalized just recently with a kidney infection and blood disease and my doctor still does not know what caused it. Most of my test come back normal. I hope to see results soon.
