@jlharsh by the way, what schedule do you do for 2 times a week ?
@jlharsh Are you still taking Crestor 5mg just 2x/week? I started 10 days ago, doing only 2.5 mg (1/2 pill), 3x/week. So far I feel OK. Wondering if I should stay here 3 months and do labs or go up to your dosage.
I don't really have a Dr to consult on this yet. Waiting to get in to a new cardiologist. My old endocrinologist (retiring and from my old city) is who prescribed it intially at 5mg/day but did advise going slow to get to that level.

@jlharsh , that was actually my thoughts.... to get clear (as you suggested 30 days) and try again. But I did.nt know 2x a week might work.
I havnt talked with either Dr as yet. I'm pretty sure my rheumatologist will want to defer tomorrow gp,which will want to defer to a cardiologist that I have yet to see.
But thank you for that inforrmation.
