Thanks for your concern Marilyn,
My doctor finally got back to me on Tuesday. Long holiday weekends are the pits when you need a doctor.
He is switching me to Repatha.
I am switching doctors in early February to University of Rochester Women's Heart Center. This is a group of women doctor's who specialize in treating woman's heart disease. I'm looking forward to it.

Hi everyone,
I finally had to go off Liptor (atorvatstatin). I realized I was having a toxic reaction when my eye lid turned purple and I had giant bags under my eyes.
I feel much better since stopping about 10 day ago. I have less muscle pain and less joint pain, I sleep better; My eyes are slowly returning to normal.
It really made me feel sick.
I sent a message to my doctor; I waiting for him to call me.

Hi all,
I've been on Lipitor for many years. I was on 20mg; after my heart attack it was put up to 80. I have been having a lot of digestive problems. I think they are beening cuased by the lipitor. I need to contact my doctor about this.
Anyone else had problems like this?
