| 1 | High cholesteral | Believe me,when I say, the pain is UNBELIEVEABLE !I have ALL of the following.......Severe leg cramps, the whole leg, in both, spasms.Swollen legs.Can't walk, stand, lay or sit down for long, as the muscles spasms, are just to severe.Can not bend over, most of the time, as the muscles just lock up.They feel like they are tearing.Right leg swelled to double its size. Hard to rise from a chair or bed.Skin tender to the touch. Severe lower back pain.Atrophy.Sunken,shoulder muscles. Poor balance.Feel like I am going to fall, if I turn.Weakness. Insomnia.Mild nausea.Poor memory.Trouble concentrating. Have a hard time, finishing sentences.My thinking just goes blank.Cold, most of the time.Hard to climb stairs.Thinning hair. Vision is worse and blurry at times.I have seen the eye doctor. Gagging in my throat at times, when I try to talk, it's getting worse | Slowly I have become more and more weak.There have been so many things,creep up on me, I just thought, that it might be old age.I had the TV on the other day and I heard someone mention, that if you were on a cholesterol lowering medication and your legs were bothering you, that you should have it checked out by a doctor.I would rather live with high cholesterol, than take Crestor !I just hope it has not damaged my liver,kidneys or legs permanently | F | 61 | 2 years low dose 1X D | 7/15/2010 | |
