Crestor Isn't Right for Me

When I woke up on Friday morning, 11 days after beginning Crestor, I was feeling achy, but the day before at work, I was hauling computers around, setting them up, and carrying old monitors away, so I thought that was why I was feeling sore. I'd been working pretty intently that week to set up some computer systems at work, so I gave in to the sore feeling and went back to sleep, figuring I'd just call in late. But a few hours later, my stomach felt cramped and my muscles in my shoulders felt like I'd just carried my super fat cousin Nelson up a hill. So I called in sick for the entire day. But the sore muscles and the cramping persisted. It wasn't until late that day after sleeping on and off for about 15 hours that I got up and tried to have a bowl of oatmeal and some coffee. I had no appetite either, although the coffee tasted good. I think even on my death bed, a cup of coffee would taste good. In any case, it occurred to me that if I was having bad side effects from Crestor that's exactly how I'd be feeling. Muscle aches, cramps, nausea. So I took myself off of the Crestor. I felt better after sleeping into early afternoon on Saturday, my second day without Crestor, still the muscles were tender, even after a foray to the Club for spa, sauna, steam, and a few laps in the pool. By Sunday, today, I feel my old self again, and will talk to my doctor tomorrow about what I might take instead. Is there a milder statin?
