Been taking Crestor for a couple years now. No significant side effects.

Did a number on my readings and dropped my triglycerides also.

I think that if you took much notice of all the warnings given with medicines, you would prefer to stick with your original ailment. :wink:

That's true. I watch my diet, moderation is the key. They check my liver and kidneys on a regular basis. So far so good.

I tried the heart attack. Trust me, that ain't good for you either. Think about DEATH when you consider your alternatives to medications that may help you live longer and catch more fish. Just sayin'...
