Crestor (rosuvastatin) "I have had brutal neck,shoulder and joint pain for about 7 years. I didn't associate it with Crestor. After reading a few comments on different sites I decided to stop cold turkey.It has been about a 10 days now and I had incredible pain in the same places on days 4-5 plus I had actual liver pain. I couldn't even scratch my back or take my coat off nor turn my neck. I thought about going back on them the pain was so intense but around day 7 pain is about 1/4 of what it was. It's remarkable. No more 30 minute showers to just get moving. I was walking around and felt like my body was worn out for the last years and today I'm starting to actually enjoy life again. Also while on this I had frequent dizzy spells, was cold all the time, and felt off balance. If I don't stroke out, this is the best thing I have done in a long time but either way the pain was so bad the quality of life was nil on crestor and got worse every day."

Crestor (rosuvastatin) "I am 52 and have been taking statins for 25 years. From Mevacor, Zocor, to Lipitor, Zetia, and now Crestor. I am lucky to have had no side effects, but will say Crestor has worked best at 40 mg daily, it helps keep it down around 230. Had a 95% blockage at age 28 and 1 stent last year. I believe statins have protected my heart over the years! My brother cannot take them and had a quadruple bypass at 49. Also, everyone should have a calcium scan, simple and life-saving."
