I would like to know if one drug can cause enough problems that your health would be so grreatly affected to the point that you would develop diabetes early? In 2005, I weighed 125 and was not sick at all. They told me my chlosterol was too high and put me on lipitor, 80 mg a day. By the fourth day of taking lipitor, I was literally bedridden. My muscles hurt so bad that I could not walk. I could barely eat. I called the nurse praticioner that prescribed the medication and asked her what was wrong. I was told that it was just in my head and to continue to take my medicine. I continued for another week but I got an appointment with another doctor. When I went to see him, he took me completely off the lipitor and started me on another statin drug. The results have always been the same. After a few days on the statin drug, my muscles hurt so bad that I can not continue to go. They finally put me on Zetia, which is not a statin drug. But ever since then, my health has deteriorated. I started gaining weight and no matter what I have done, I can not lose the weight. I am bipolar, ocd, anxiety and panic disorders. And that isn't all. I have trouble with my liver, thyroid, back, and rls. My joints have deteriorated. I have had to have shots in my hand, hips, and knees. I was told that I have osteoporesis really bad. Plus all the other aches and pain that go along with aging. Then in December of 2010, I was diagonosed with Type 2 Diabetes. My weight has steadly gone up and I have exercised, dieted, just about everything except I have not tried over the counter pills. I was afraid to do that.. Now is there a possibilty that the lipitor caused all of this? Or was I going to be like this anyway? I wish I had some answers. No one can tell me if lipitor would cause any of this. But it sure seems strange that I was not sick at all until I started taking lipitor. Any help would be appreciated because i have researched everywhere that I could think and I have not been successful. Thanks for listening.View Thread
