Crestor and managing side effects

@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!!

@skd4953 Good for you! You can look on YouTube for information on Red Yeast Rice and Garlic as alternatives to statins (although my cardiologist tells me that Red Yeast Rice is a statin, but OTC and non-regulated.) It may not work for everyone, but it did work for me. I have a very good cardiologist but I always do my own research and also listen to my body. I know what works for me and what doesn't. So best of luck. Anything that gives you symptoms like that isn't worth it.
