I am a terrible one to talk about diets and eating right, I am a type 2 diabetic, have RA, firbomyalgia, high blood pressure, high choel, you name it I've probably had it. I had uterine cancer 6 years ago and now am cancer free, had my gallbladder out last January and in February had a stress test and ended up in the hospital to have a stent placed in my heart. Think that would be enough to make me become a health nut and do everything right. My husband says the commercial on TV with the hospital gurney following people around is me. He says I am the worst diabetic ever. Even though I know I should be walking everyday and eating healthy (my husband tries to get me to eat really healthy stuff) I just don't like most of it. I have been on Crestor since my stent and tons of other meds. No side effects and my choel. is under control. I hate this getting older, I just turned 58 and it's all down hill. Our prescription costs are terrible. You'd think out of guilt I'd do healthy things, just can't seem to make myself. Right now my depression is pretty bad so that doesn't help. But, in your case, if your doctor really feels you need the Crestor, try it for awhile and see if it works for you. I worked in an ER and can't believe the number of younger and younger people have heart attacks. Pills suck but sometimes your body just needs that extra help. Good luck.
