I admit a momentary obsession with finding information on how to deal with my cholesterol issue and found an interesting article on the Mayo Clinic site about statins, cholesterol lowering drugs, and the side effects. My doctor has me on Lavastatin, rather than Lipitor, and we'll see how well it has worked (or not) in another 3 months.
