I have been on Lipitor for several years. My family has a long history of guys dying young from heart disease, kidney disease, and strokes. The MS history in my family is limited to my cousin who has never taken a DMD and has had MS for at least 15 years, and only occasionally needs a cane to walk. I figure I am alot more likely to die from heart disease than MS...so I take Lipitor, fish oil, aspirin, and I exercise as often as I can.
