Let me say again..my condolences. Take it from someone who is taking at least 10 different meds a day (including Lipitor and Tylenol). I'm scared to death about how long term use is going to royally fuck me up in the future. However, it's keeping me going here in the present. I surely don't like the idea of having complications from these meds, and I tell my doctors this on a regular. They can only, as you said, "following the proper protocols". However, I tend to question to myself about my doctors, and whether or not they are up on the latest science, and are only able to prescribe the meds that they have access to. *shrugs* I've not heard of Lipitor causing cancer, but I do know that it causes muscle aches and pains (which makes me wonder if that is part of *my* body aches). Here's what I found out about Lipitor: Lipitor-Warnings and Side Effects Lipitor Side Effects (Official Site) [Cinhealth] lipitor and cancer Statin drugs: Potential side effects Hope that helps.
