I am 42 years old and been taking crestor 10 mg for about 18 months to 2 years.. Recently been feeling tired with heavy legs.. told my doctor did a blood test everything was normal.. doctor advised to get off crestor its been 3 week and still feeling tired in legs.. am pretty active, workout , lift weights.. walk and play golf lately 18 holes carrying bag are becoming difficult.. will stay off crestor for a while and see if leg pain and tiredness goes away.. Anyone experienced similar systems... What did you do... My cholesterol on crestor had dropped to 160.. last test while on crestor was 238 hdl 133 and ldl 64.... not sure what to do but till i don't feel normal do not plan to take crestor as that is the only medication was taking....

Your HDL was 133 and you were taking a statin? Your doctor is either a criminal or an idiot. With that level of HDL you are better protected than with any statin!
