Oh, you're right, @libertybele - I got the names wrong. Mr. M and I both take Crestor, after a pharmacist friend explained that Crestor was less likely to cause muscle/joint pain than the other statins, like Lipitor. We surely didn't want any more pain, so we asked our dr. to prescribe Crestor.
It doesn't cause Mr. M any problems, but it would be nice to know what's going on with me!
I'm not a fan of either statin, and I went off of a statin for a month and felt great with my energy back, but I was told I needed to be on one. Over the years I've read conflicting reports about statins with some reports saying that they cause more side effects and harm than they are worth.
