1 | high cholestrol | Update- I stopped taking my Lipitor after notifying my doctor. After 5 days I have almost totally recovered. My upper gums behind teeth no longer ache. After several dentist appts, I wanted them to take my two front teeth out(they are veneers) I no longer have stomach troubles with everything pouring out of me without warning. My toes have not cramped at all and I can walk /stand on them. I did lose ten pounds which at 117 was something I did not need but feeling better I can start to regain it. I am not seeing my doctor till the 27th so go from there. Also. at my weight I dont think it was wise for me to be taking 40 mg (cholesterol 225)when people have severe side effects at 10 mg. I really feel that this was what it feels like to be poisoned. | F | 48 | 90 days 40 mg 1X D | 8/17/2015 |
