to be sure, those drugs serve a very good purpose but, they will cause cramping and mess with your head.
If you are over 75 it would be a good idea to consider the risk of falling, which happens frequently to those on ipitor, Zocor, Crestor.
My friend, who just passed away at 101 quit taking Crestor and any other cholesteral reducing drugs as they made her a little touched in the head, caused dizziness and severe pain in her quadriceps.
She had lived with a cholesterol count of 300 for who knows how many years before we placed her on it 5 years ago.
So it was decided “Heck, some people are just plain going to make it” and she dropped the drug.
She died of old age.
She lived well and passed into God’s loving arms well.
“She had lived with a cholesterol count of 300 for who knows how many years before we placed her on it 5 years ago.”
She lived to be 101?
Not that surprising, actually. The Framingham study found that people with higher cholesterol actually lived longer.
