I got a bit of leg pain about a week after
starting on Lipitor, but by the time I’d been on it
another few weeks was just sore pretty much all over. I’d
have a word with your doctor - see what he
thinks.

my doctor has me on Zocor and I take it at bedtime but the more I think about it
it has helped my cholesteral numbers, it also has me waking up with leg pain
everyday…..

Dear Carol, Lipitor. I just could not tolerate it. I felt like I had
the flu all the time, aches and pains, extremely
tired, etc. I’ve tried other cholesterol-lowering
medications and have the same reaction to all of them. The doctor is now trying Evista to see how I tolerate
it, as it lowers cholesterol, too. Thank goodness I
am tolerating it. I’ll have a test in November to
see if it is working.

I went on Lipitor 3 or 4 weeks ago to try and
bring my cholesterol down a bit. At the time I asked
people on here what they thought of
Lipitor. suit, as it gave me muscle and joint pain. At the
moment I’m having a break from cholesterol lowering
medication, and will see the endo in early December to see
what we can try next! :)

Thank you so much for your interest. I have been
dealing with this for years. Both my parents were
diabetic and I have watched my diet and exercised in hopes
of staving off the inevitable. I had been walking to
work and so on, my sugars were fine. Then I gained
35lbs. in two weeks and my sugars shot right up. That is
probably gastroparesis. I have only recently lost my
apetite and I have an appointment with an endo in
October. So we shall see what we shall see.

My husband suffers from sleep apnea. His GP had
referred him to a neurologist, who then sent him for a
sleep study. Has anyone noticed you stop breathing
during the time you are asleep? That is how we first
realized that he had the problem. doctor why he thinks your problems are caused by sleep
apnea. There could be many causes for your symptoms,
only some of which may be related to your diabetes.
just start recently? Have you mentioned it to your
doctor? might consider getting an app’t with your specialist
sooner than 6 months from now! happens.

I just got back from the office of my general
practicioner. I have all kinds of neuropathy symptoms which I
shall not bore evryone with. His solution is sleep
apnia. He figures that is 50% of my problem and then all
I have to do is get my sugars under control, (which
they are). I do this by eating one meal a day which is
easy to do since I have no appetite at all. My
appointment with the specialist is next February. thought, hmmmmm, I wonder is this sleep business is the
latest medical fad? Has anyone else run across this
sleep apnia business?
