Watch out for the poopies...Fish oil and/or flax seed oil gives me the runners cramps and dashes to the potty.

Thank you John. So far not much help but I will add fish oil and see what happens. My over all cholesterol is around 120 last time I checked.

Yes, I was taking Lipitor and after several months I was unable to walk! Upon examination they found my right calf was about 2/3 the girth of my left leg. Just had a blood draw so they called the lab and ordered a CPK test and the physician Hospitalized me and "stopped" the lipitor on the spot.

Some people do quite well on the medication, others do badly there are different physiologys of people.

Tried there massive Niacin dosage and a few months later had a severe GI bleed, Liver failure was diagnosed? Dont know if they are related or not??

Arch:

SO sorry to hear about that. You should think about talking to a Lawyer on that one.
