    Trying giving up Lipitor for a while to see if condition goes away.

    I found that I was statin intolerant after all the side effects and don't take them any more.

      Totally agree with you Marco.  Daley, try stopping the statins for a while and see what happens.  Have your liver enzyme tested and blood sugar too.  Statins can cause serious liver damage in some people and increase the incidence of Type 2 diabetes, both of which give rise to fatigue symptoms.
