lipitor

Avatar f tn It is a disorder of the nerves which causes numbness, tingling, unusual sensations and sometimes pain. Diabetes Mellitus can cause neuropathy. Other causes like vitamin deficiencies, alcohol consumption and certain medications can cause neuropathy. You may need to consult your primary care physician to detect the cause. Regards.
932338 tn?1247125679 Try to feed your brain and nervous system with the essential fatty acids it needs to rebuild, like fish oil, flax seed oil, borage oil, and evening primrose oil.Get a quality multi-vitamin/multi mineral, with high in B-Complex, especially B-12.Take spirulina, as the RNA/DNA in the spirulina are essential and very important to re-build the material that makes up your brain tissue and nervous system.
Avatar m tn Many weeks ago one of her doctors suspected neuropathy and recommended B complex vitamins but not any particular brand. Because the local pharmacies don't have a choice of GMP certified brands we're probably going to get the B complex in a multivitamin without any added herbs from a GMP certified practitioner brand that uses the amount of B vitamins usually used for neuropathy.
Avatar f tn Ask your doctor ways to prevent heart disease such as taking fish oil for the Omega 3, possibly adding vitamin B3 as a lot of people are lacking this vitamin and a deficiency of this vitamin can cause different diseases.
393419 tn?1228447393 I have high cholesterol and can't go back to my statin drug, Lipitor because my liver enzymes are elevated and the Lipitor will just make it higher. Have been taking Co-enzyme Q10. How does the Q10 counter balance a cholesterol tablet? Also, how much Q10 should I be taking? Thanks!

Avatar n tn Cholesterol is required to build cell membranes, to produce hormones, to manufacture fat-digesting bile, to make vitamin D, and to process fat soluble vitamins. It is also needed to maintain the myelin sheaths that insulate and protect nerves throughout the body. It is particularly important in preserving brain function." *** Excerpt from Dr Greg Emerson's article "Cholesterol Reduction"...
Avatar n tn On my own a week ago, I stopped the lipitor and the lipitor only. For the first time in 5 yrs i have no more hives. Why is there not more articles published or side effects like mine posted for lipitor??? What is your feeling on the hives from Lipitor??
1274110 tn?1270788561 I came off of Imdur 60 mg twice a day and a nitro patch. It was working but now I get real bad heartburn and my GERD (acid reflux) is back. Has any one had a similar experience? Here is a listing of my meds. Any help appreciated.
Avatar f tn I now believe my RLS was in fact an early reaction to Lipitor and that my back and neck pain, etc. are an indication of increasing toxicity from statins. Is this an accurate assessment? I need to know what my next steps are. I can't tolerate taking statins any longer.

Cut smokes from 20+/day to 3/day. Still can't seem to shake fatigue though , that I've had since recovery began over 4 months ago!! Thoughts????
Avatar n tn I have been taking Lipitor for the last 10 years and lately I have developed muscle pains. I was told the pain might be because of the Lipitor. I stopped taking them for a couple of months, the pain was much less however my cloestrol level was back to 290. I would appreciate any insight or suggestions.
Avatar f tn There is much controversy about cholesterol, but it is muted because of pharmaceutical financial interests in statins. Half of those who die of strokes or heart attacks have no history of high cholesterol. DeBakey discounted cholesterol. My own doctor pays no attention to it. What is the true role of cholesterol and how should one proceed? I don't know, but I won't take Lipitor.
Avatar f tn The Lipitor package insert recommends that a test of your liver function should be done prior to and at 12 weeks following both the start of therapy with Lipitor and any increase of dose, and periodically (for example, every six months) thereafter. If there are any changes in your liver function, drinking alcohol may make it worse.
Avatar n tn Has anyone gotten worsening of their PVC's from taking a statin drug? I seem to be intolerant of these drugs and have tried Crestor, Lipitor and Lescol. My PVC's go absolutely nuts when I take them. I have done my own tests by going off and on them. I consistently get worse when I'm on them. I take C0Q10 and a whole bunch of supplements including magnesium to no avail. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn People taking lipitor are recommended to avoid alcohol in their diet because it raises the triglyceride levels, another lipid which is a risk factor for heart disease. Going to soft drinks would be far more beneficial for your body obviously but if this is impossible I would switch your lipitor to the mornings. Lipitor, unlike some statin drugs, can be taken any time of the day.
Avatar n tn If hypothyrodism can cause high cholesterol is it not better to take thyorid hormone replacement than Lipitor?
Avatar f tn The MRI scan shows no issues - they have run MRI, CatScan, EEG, EMG, Muscle Biospy, Spinal Tap, all sorts of blood work and after three weeks have found nothing except some vitamin deficiency. She still cannot walk and has confusion and short term memory - Has anyone heard of anything like this. Is it possible that is vitamin deficiency? Any Ideas appreciated. .
689528 tn?1364135841 I haven't experienced morning sickness yet. (Fingers crossed I don't) At times I'll get like a hot spell and maybe feel a little nauseated but it never lasts longer than a minute. Anyway...was wondering if everyone takes extra vitamin B?! It's supposed to help and while TTC I started taking B50 complex and I am still continuing it. I think this may be why I don't feel sick.....LOL I'll keep ya updated though cuz I'll just be 5 weeks tomorrow!!
Avatar f tn Is it ok to take B-complex for a little energy while pregnant? I am 30 weeks along and dragging butt big time!
329994 tn?1301663248 This is a question to those of you with CFS. I have been having aches in my ankles and legs, hard to describe but an all over aching and I have to move them around to make it feel better. My cardio doc thought it might be the Lipitor and it did get better off the Lipitor but hasn't gone away. I do notice it during the day but more at night when I am lying in bed. I just wonder if this is a symptom of CFS? Do others have it?
Avatar m tn I will not take statins, too many side effects, and really, there is no proof they really work. I would concentrate on more exercise, better diet, and a good, multi-vitamin and mineral, food grade preferably. Taking extra Niacin and Red Yeast rice will help too, and, you will not have the dangerous side-effects or high price.
Avatar m tn I do take a number of supplements including Centrum, CoQ10, hyaluronic acid, fish oil, an aspirin and Lipitor. Only Lipitor has been long term and that does not appear to increase sunburn sensitivity (though rashes are possible). Is this a normal part of aging or are there other factors involved?
Avatar f tn My PC ran many tests, and my hepatic panel is normal, my anemia profile is in range, all my chemistry numbers are ok, eosinophils high. I have vitamin D deficiency and B12 borderline, and tested positive for AMA antibodies 107. My mom wad diagnosed last year with drug induced autoimmune hepatitis, and you helped us a lot months ago. I understand high level of AMA is related to PBC and I was wondering if you can give any advice on that. Also, could Hashimoto cause AMA to be positive too?
Avatar m tn i have this neck back and chest pain do you think i have because i take lipitor 40 mg pleae let emknow .
