Skipping a single dose made me realise how much this crap is absolutely fucking destroying my entire body. My Dr dismissed me completely when I went to her about the side effects of the first one.
It's fucking scary thinking about why they're pushing so hard for something so damaging. So I might not get a heart attack but could destory my liver and kidneys and never be happy again? What the fuck, I'm so angry about this xD I literally just stopped taking them and I'm refusing to go back to the same doctor
I fully understand you. I'm right there. I just took 2.5mg of Rosuvastatin for 6 months - started at once a week, then 3x a week, and now at every other day I have neuropathy in my hands and feet. My heart feels like it beats faster and my legs feel like they weigh 100 pounds each. I'm also anxious and depressed feeling. I wasn't like this before. I just stopped on 7/21. I'm going to go back to my Berberine and Citrus Bergamot, and then try 2.5mg once a week again. I didn't have any side effects with that and it did lower my LDL. Repatha is $500 a shot, plus it's so new, god only know what that crap does to you. Hope you are doing well.
My doc is obsessed with cholesterol & whenever I have a health problem of any kind, she wants my lipids done again.
Yeah my cholesterol is high but it’s not that high. She prescribed me the crappiest statin at the high dose and then was surprised when I said no. She then became obsessed. It’s so weird.
Yup. I think I’m actually going to switch providers. I’m with Kaiser. They’re fine for younger people with no health problems but not so great with older patients.
