"Since menopause, my LDL and non-HDL became stubbornly high despite diet changes (I had the advanced lipid and ApoB test as well). Finally, I agreed to take a statin. The doctor prescribed 5 mg rosuvastatin every other day. After 3 months, I got retested. Total 271 to 188, Trigs 68 to 66, HDL 81 to 69, LDL 173 to 106. I have had no side effects, but taking a low dose every other day."

"I take 10 mg Crestor EOD (Every Other Day). My cholesterol is 221, with HDL and triglycerides normal, but an LDL of 169. 42-year-old male, moderately active. The first three weeks were the worst, even taking every other day, with the brain fog and joint/muscle pain. But going on two months now, it has mostly resolved. I actually feel better after two months, I am not sure if high cholesterol can make you feel lousy, but I'm just stating I feel different in a good way. Side note: Crestor is supposed to lower your blood pressure a little too. Anyway, if this medicine bugs you, take it every other day or every two days. It will still work well. It is a very strong statin. Best part, my insurance pays for it all! Cost me $0.00. If you want the benefits of statins, you have to take the bad with the good. The side effects will resolve and aren't that bad. Stick with it!"
