Have Allergies, Cramps In Limbs, Finger And Hands. Taking Prednisone, Lipitor, Atorvastin. Suggest?

I want to know the side effects of prednisone that I'm taking for allergies. I don't know if my atorvastatin is causing my feet and leg cramps and also my fingers and hands. I have a call in to my doctor. It's now keeping me up at night and happening during the day. He changed me from 80 mg. of lipitor to 80 of atorvastatin and since I've been using it, I have now had severe cramping. I only slept 2-l/2 hours last night.
