I just wanted to throw in my experience of having seen this side effect thoroughly debilitate a once vigorous man. He also never recovered. It is just something I think about every time I watch a TV commercial with the little legal warning about the side effects at the end.

I have resisted my doctors attempts to put me on Lipitor for the last two years. When I'm faithful about my diet and exercise I can keep my cholesterol under control, I just can't bring myself to take a drug to control something that is also fixable with diet and exercise...not when the side effects can be so debilitating!
