Lipitor and sinus infection

I am 53 years old and have been on 10 mg of Lipitor for at least 5 years. For the past 3 years I have been experiencing tight muscles in my back and muscle spasms on my right side. I have had the following tests done - all of which came back negative: CT scan, Ultrasound, MRI, gall bladder scan, kidney scan, pelvic exam, even had a colonoscopy (that sucked), and went for physical therapy which the therapist said I had weakness on my right side. The doctor never even suggested to stop taking Lipitor but after reading these posts, I'm stopping myself.

Where should I start? Today the lights are finally coming on and the puzzle of how crummy I have felt since I started this drug are coming together. Some of these I never mentioned to my doctor... he said I would feel flu like symptoms if it were Lipitor... because I asked before I started. So, no fever, no "illness".... just leg pain. I thougth I needed new shoes, or was spending too much time at the computer.
Leg pain (upper left).
Deafness and tinnitus (right ear).
Ear infections (NEVER had ONE before Lipitor)
Frequent, recurrent Sinus infection.
Chronic nasal inflammation.
Insomnia.
Forgetfulness... frequent, worsening.
Tendonitis... frequent, varied locations (never had it before Lipitor)
Poor Balance.
Indigestion.
Flatulence.
Discomfort in the eyes (I have had amblyopia my whole life... didn't know until today that amblyopia is listed as an adverse sensory reaction in the PDR). Went to an eye doctor... looked okay... attributed symptoms to chronic sinus problems and adjusting to new bifocals... maybe bad angle at computer desk.

This is a rude awakening for me and I am done with Lipitor. It isn't worth it. My Cholesterol wasn't even THAT high , and my ratios were really good as wer triglycerides.... so no wonder I feel like a punching bag with one ear. Forget it. This isn't worth it. I'm going to try a more natural approach.

Dealing with a dr.-confirmed sinus infection, I attributed the dizziness, reduced mental acuity, iffy physical dexterity, and a tremor in my hand when I brought food to my mouth to the medications I was taking for the infection. Yesterday, I developed a severe muscle cramp in my calf, and when I mentioned it to a friend, she pointed out that it might be the Lipitor. I came to this site for information, discovering many similar stories. So I decided to add my input. I took myself off it today and am looking into Cholesten LDL.
