Re: [TMIC] Lipitor

[Diane]

Lipitor saved my life (maybe).  I have type 2B cholesterol (familial).  In my 40's, it started to climb rapidly & my dr put me on 3 meds one after another.  Still, it kept climbing & the dr was almost panicking at the speed of increase.  I won't give you the #s in Cdn count.  Lipitor came on the market about then & he put me on it immediately.  Within six months and to this day (over 15 yrs.), my cholesterol count is below normal.  A success story here, anyway.  I have had zero side effects.
