I just told my husband that he is done taking atorvastatin. I took statins for about 3 months twice. Both times I got leg nerve pain. 5 years later, my toes still hurt in the cold. My cholesterol numbers are now great. I lost weight and tried to improve my diet.
Husband's cardiologists are going to flip a gasket. We are just not going to tell for 6 months and get new blood work. If numbers are good, we will confess. I truly think his numbers will be ok. He has also lost lots of weight.

In January 1989 American Cardiology Association lowers the ideal cholesterol level from 220 (which for some was already too low) down to 200. September 1989 Pfizer rolls out "miracle" statin Lipitor.
The "numbers" that the "medical" establishment pull out of their ass is just to scare people to ultimately take whatever drug they are pushing by profit vampires (big pharma). Don't fall for "the numbers" game!!!
Good that both of you have stopped taking the statin drugs!!! Never take that brain destroying crap again!!!
