I got a drug induced myopathy (pritor drug) and after some 2 months it's mostly gone thank God... though if you think you have it, stop using the drugs NOW, and watch out for any strenuous activity, because it can cause strains :(
He refused to take the crestor and in 3 days time he was sleeping nights again. He only took the crestor about 2 weeks.Hopefully we caught it in time. He is now on nyaspan (a resin) and it seems to be working. He has had several Dr.s cardiologist, hospitalist and family Dr. still insist he take crestor... We have to explain to them all about the myopathy. One even had the nerve to say sometimes you have to suffer to heal.
This explains alot my husband has recently started taking crestor and his pain in his legs and arms are killing him. Dr. Upped his dosage now it is gotten even worse. He thought it was from a artery blockage in his legs, and was getting ready to have surgury done. But appears crestor might be the culprit.
@posylady Dear Posylady-Crestor (Rosuvastatin) did the job on me too. It can also do amazing things to your
memory if you haven't noticed yet. Elevated cholesterol is your body fighting off heavy metals. What heavy metals? The only heavy metals that could be in my body are the Mercury preservative in Flu and other shots.
Statin drugs are a 30 billion dollar a year industry. they're not going away. Google spacedoc.com
I am wondering about the cost effectiveness of mass genotyping of all patients on statin, especially as the gene is relatively infrequent & exists in 15% of the population.
Or you might be able to implement this findings to bypass the genetic influences & come up with an alternative to statins. That will be a tremendous breakthrough.
