Update on statin med

) I am glad to be off the Crestor but I am also scared that something is going to happen. I have two small kids to worry about. Doctor did mention that there are other cholesterol reducing drugs available that are not in the statin group but they don' t reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack. I have to get my cholesterol checked in January so we will see what lies ahead. I am glad that I found this blog because I needed to hear that other people struggle with these statin drugs as well and I am not some hysterical female.
