Permanent damage from Crestor?

Question

I was put on crestor about 3 months ago. I never had my blood drawn and recently went to the docor complaining of a sinus infection, severe pain in my back, achiness everywhere and it turned out that there were red and white blood cells in my urine. I asked the doctor (and I use the word because I can't call her what I want to here) twice to draw my blood given the fact that I had these symptoms. She didn't even look at my legs and feet and gave me 5 days of zithromax that has done nothing. she did nottell me to go off the crestor. I called a real doctor and was told to go off of it immediately and that she was negligent in her care of me and that there might be permanent damage to my muscles, liver and kidneys. Has anyone suffered these symptoms and been ignored by their doctor (I turned her in to the medical board - she was so rude). What kind of symptoms would there be if i do have damage. I do know that my entire body hurts, my abdomen urts, the left side of my back is killing me. I see the new guy on the 9th and thy will do blood work then. Anyone have any details on this type of thing - I feel awful - and still have the sinus infection by the way! Idiot!!!

Answer 1

You are not alone in these side effects. Most doctors think that if your liver enzymes are ok than you do not have serious side effects. Check out this website. www.spacedoc.net You will find some horror stories. You should start taking CoQ10 immediately. Yes there can be permanent damage but it is the sort of damage that would have eventually occurred with old age. If you are young, you will recover, if you are older, you may have nagging remnants of these pains. Just be thankfully that you got off this poison before you started noticing the memory loss and low testosterone levels.

Feel free to email me, I have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours researching this.
