I called the doc to report all the side effects. He said he thought this might happen as I have a problem with SCI pain but Lipitor being a very good cholesterol drug, he wanted to try it. Instead he put me on Welchol I've had no reactions to it. I have to take 3 pills twice a day but I guess I'll have to live with this or let it go not live with it :-) We all know exercise is not an option. My AB brothers is 160 and weather permitted he runs 4 miles a day, goes on ski trips snow mobil trips so go figure. Anyway, if the day comes you can't handle Lipitor because it makes you 3 times as miserable as you already are, try Welchol. I should add it works thru the digestive tract instead of the liver so the drawback is constipation. As all drugs, if ya need them,,,whatta ya gonna do? Dianna **It's Tax Time!
