They are the stronger and more dangerous statins, IMHO. Google their names with the word danger. I had to get off Lipitor because of side effects such as cramping of fingers and toes.
There was an article about Lipitor in Smart Money magazine that was very interesting. I haven't found it online, yet.

Hi Tex,
RE: Well, shouldn't a seizure have been more dramatic? Unless it occurred during sleep, of course - I don't even know if that is possible or not, but I would assume that it might be.
I’m sorry Tex, but your assumption would NOT be exactly, or necessarily, correct.
You are thinking of seizure only in terms of a Grand Mal Seizure which are the most the most dramatic type of seizure, but the magnitude of different types “seizures” varies greatly. AND Yes, seizures do occasionally occure during sleep.
IMHO, and believe me --- that is all it is ---- It would be in your best interest to have a Neuro evaluation by dispassionate and knowledgeable persons --- up close and personal. Your history, that you have outlined here, would seem to warrant that.
But I bet you are tired of us girls “pileing on” here. So will stop now.
Keep us informed. I'm sure we are all sending good thoughts your way.
Best,
Gayle

Wayne,
Could it be that you urinated all that weight off? I remember your saying that the amounts seemed unusual when you were in the emergency room. Water is very heavy, so urine is as well. Perhaps you continued to loose fluid to the point of dehydration, but then, I think I may have missed a post where you talked about how the dehydration may have occurred.
At any rate, I think we all vote to have you see the Neuro!
Yours, Luce

Joan,
Thanks for all those links. That info certainly doesn't make them sound very appealing.
Gayle,
I really do appreciate everyone's thoughts, and I have to admit that I'm convinced. I'll see what can be arranged tomorrow.
Luce,
Well, water weighs slightly less than 8.5 lbs/gal, which would make a quart weigh a little over 2 lbs. I left about a quart at the ER. LOL. It was cool there, though, so I didn't perspire while there. When I'm out and about at home, I'm rarely in an air-conditioned area, so I perspire more than that, (based on the amount of water I normally drink, versus very slight urine volume. So that couldn't have played more than a very minor part in the weight loss. I weigh a little less now, than I did when I left there, (about a pound). I should have gained the weight back by now, if it were just water loss, because I'm drinking all I want. Also, my appetite is way down, (waaaaaaaaaaaay down), so I'm also eating less.
Thanks,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
on your decision. Thanks Polly. I don't know what I would do without you, and all the other kindhearted souls here. I truly appreciate all the great support.
Love,
Tex
