Merry Christmas... I went off mine this morning. We have to maintain a balance you know?
Seriously, my ankles, knees, hips, and a finger knuckle have been hurting but mostly my outer ankle bones, getting worse every day for a couple of weeks. I did some online reading and found that Crestor causes joint pain. I had stopped taking any statin drugs a few months ago and had gone to a gluten free diet. Then life went haywire and I was out of town a lot and wound up eating pizza etc again. So about a month ago I figured I should take some statin. I started taking 10mg of Crestor. Hopefully in a couple of weeks (or less) my ankles will stop hurting, and my knees, and my left hip, left elbow, and left index finger knuckle. Some of it may be arthritis but not all of it. It came on to fast.
I think life was better when I abused drugs than when I use them.... IIRC... LOL.
Ah.. the meds. If only we could get the ones we really want.
