I had high cholest. And tried EVERY statin available. Even tried red yeast rice. They all caused serious muscle and bone pain! Finally tried Repatha, which causes nausea, but lowers LDL. YouTube has some great videos on cholesterol #s and statins. Highly recommended!

I take Atorvastatin. I had high numbers, well 155. I have been taking this for about 6 months now and my number is now 75 as of this week. I take 80 mg a day and have no side affects.

I take a statin and have for about 10 to 15 years.. no problems.. so sorry you had that experience..there are other statins besides Crestor maybe try one of the others.. Good luck.

I hope those of you who have medication problems can work them out. I know too many with problems with statins so I avoid them but do not have high numbersI was raised with a Dad who avoided drugs and he lived till 96 so I do believe many drugs do more harm than good. I believe a good diet and vitamins are better. I take advil for headaches but thats all right now..

My numbers elevate on statins and I get severe muscular pain. Can’t take any of them.
