I have been doing physical exercise since 1987 fairly regularly: run, walk, lift weights.However, in 6 years, only 3 little nose bleeds. Also cramps on my hands and feet very occasionally. But plavix is so dear. | I have been taking Plavix (75mg) together with Crestor (10mg) from December 2008 to 2012 and simvastatin (10mg) since. The reason for the change from Cretor to Simvastatin was that Crestor is far too expensive. I never really watch my diet until the doctor said I needed to fit a stent in 2008. Since then I have been careful with what I eat. My weight since highschool has not changed much hovering around 62-64 kg.
