She take 40mg of Atorvastatin (generic Lipitor) was curious if dosage amount might contribute this side effect.
Penn mentioned that statin's can or do attack liver function so I would be curious to know if statin use might coincide with the huge influx of NASH aka None Alcoholic Fatty Liver disease. And if you have liver disease your chances of Type II diabetes and heart disease increase. Heart disease and Type II diabetes is a huge problem in the US.

Yes this is interesting, I have been taking 80mg of Atorvastatin for almost ten years now and in the past year have suffered from severe leg cramps on an almost daily basis. I see the term muscle pain does that equate to cramps? Paslode what type of cramping does your wife suffer from if I may ask?
