the lipitor issue

[Guest guest]

Jolene,

This is just FYI, I don't take/need it, but as group Moderator, thought

you might want to read this article.

http://www.lipitor.com/docs/prescribe.pdf You will need Adobe Acrobat

Reader to read it, easy few minute download; in essence, it first

mentions how the VLDL is released into the plasma for delivery to the

peripheral tissues.

Farther down the pages under Contraindications read about the effect on

'Skeletal Muscle' (muscle aches and pains, etc) also under the 'Nervous

System' - it lists peripheral neuropathy!

This is all off the http://www.lipitor.com site which surprises me that

a Dr. treating a CMT patient would not have read up on.

Well, good luck. I am sure your Dr. can help you find the right program

for lowering cholesterol.
