My husband was on Lipitor for high cholesterol. Had pain in his legs, started to get numbness in his hands (neuropathy) and was feeling tired each day by lunchtime. When I read the startling newspaper reports a couple of weeks ago about statin side effects and told him, he stopped taking them and is feeling much better already. I had a high cholesterol reading on a blood test and cut it down substantially by myself as research pointed towards several things. The porridge to start the day I knew already. Magnesium, I started taking a supplement. Also plant sterols tablets I found from a vitamin supplier. Also Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 tablespoon a day in water. By myself I cut it down enough to quieten my doctor.
