Lipitor caused my gout & memory problems. by: Kevin O
I started on 10mg Lipitor about 6 years back when my total cholesterol was about 6.5. After 1 year my doc recommended I go to 20 mg as my total was 5.5. I had my first gout attack about 4 years back but could never figure out what was causing it as I was not over indulging in purine rich foods or alcohol. Gout attacks increased till a month ago when I read about Lipitor causing memory problems ans stopped taking it. I am now gout free and my mind is as sharp as a tack. I believe that the makers of Lipitor must have known of its side effects. I would like to join any class action lawsuit against them. I am a professional engineer having spent much of my career in research.

Crestor by: Anti-crestor
Gosh!!! I am a long distance runner and my feet were sore last year. I took voltaren to combat these pains. After an ultra marathon (90 kms) last year I couldn't walk. I was diagnosed with three stress fractures. I was treated for these.
This week I found out from the chemist that one should take vitamins with crestor otherwise it gives pains in one feet!!!
