Crestor and managing side effects

@skd4953 Why are you on a statin? Are your lipid levels really high or just borderline? Were you placed on a statin because of your age? I had borderline high lipid levels but the ratios were acceptable but the PCP wanted me to be on a statin because of my age--77. I tried it for about 3 or 4 days and I hated it! I switched to OTC methods and my levels dropped by 20%. I take Red Yeast Rice daily and Garlic tablets. Also push the fiber to keep things moving through. I have NO side effects and I am not feeding big pharma with the costly drugs they promote. Ask around and do some research.

@sjm46 My numbers are high but not terrible. Doc ordered a calcium ct and showed low levels of buildup. I’m sorry, I don’t know all the correct wording. Never wanted to go on statins but against my better judgment I started Crestor. Legs, arms hurt, weakness in my legs. Only on it 10 days so I stopped. My friend has been on red yeast rice, coq10 and garlic. I’m going to start that, but am seeing my doctor next week. I’m glad that has worked for you!!
