“We’ve become a prescription nation. I wonder sometimes how many are actually needed.”
Blood pressure reduction is understandable...I’m ok there. But I did tell my doc where to shove his statin drugs.
Statins, ugh. No warnings I recall, I was eating grapefruit and taking GENERIC NAME: rosuvastatin BRAND NAME: Crestor.
Muscle pain and aches, other problems.
Don’t know if the grapefruit was a problem or if just made the statin side-effects worse, or if it was just the statin.
But I could tell something was wrong. Anyway my cholesterol was down, I lost weight, better diet, exercised and discontinued it. Everything seems copacetic now.
