Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. Encouraging that you have experienced no side effects. I'm very concerned about sleep disturbance because I am an insomniac and onlt get a few hours sleep every night. I'm wondering if they would want to put me on 40mg because my LDL is higher. I have a consultation with my pharmacist on Tuesday and a drs appt with the GP on the 3rd. I am hoping I can find a statin that works without side effects. Congratulations on such a significant drop in your LDL, that's wonderful. 🙂

Before I started the rosuvastatin I was very worried about the possible side effects, which is why I delayed them. You just won't know until you try. I feel lucky given that many people have had to fight through multiple types of statins before they find one they can live with, if at all. Good luck! And keep asking questions of your health care team - push back when they are not being clear!
