I am 60 yr old female that was on lipitor for several years and then changed to zetia and provachol 40 mg. because liver enzyne were elevated. I have been having problems with shoulder pain and also high eye pressure (not glaucoma yet).
My eye pressure has been high since 1997, except for the few months that I wasn't on any medicines for cholestrol.

30 days ago I woke up and had a hard time getting out of bed. My lower body muscles and nerves almost quit working. Within three days, they did quit working. My doctor sugested that the Provachol I was taking had had a adverse effect on my nervous system. I had been taking it for about 2 months. I quit taking the statin and am now (28 days later) starting to being able to walk. I am still using a walker but each day it gets a little better. I have been thru many different tests and the findings are that it is a reaction to the Provachol.

I have had extreme pain in my left arm. I went to the dr. and she told me it was from my Provachol. She immediately took me off it and put me on Perocet for the pain. This was just yesterday. I'm hoping the pain to go away soon. She stated that the toxins from the Provachol had settled into my muscles in my arm and was breaking down the muscle enzemes in the muscle cells. I hope if you read this and you are on Provachol to stop taking it immediately and seek medical attention.
