Yep, I was on Lipitor for a few monrths and almost died...first the cramps, muscle pain, joint pain, that's before the heart palpitations

after two months the doctor reduced the dosage to half a tab...eight weeks later I was walking with a cane

Apparently I was one of those with them rare side effects...same thing happend with my BP meds (Altace) and diabetes medication (Metformin).

So I had no choice but to lose weight and get into shape
