Does the Doctor Know Best

I did not take my Crestor today, but called the doctor instead to discuss his choice of cholesterol medication. I had read theat Crestor's risk outweighed its success in comparison to a few other statin based anti-cholesterol drugs. He told me that recent studies, including one in Lancet, claim the opposite, that Crestor's side effects do not occur as frequently as others and that it is very effective. I going to research this a little more and by morning I may begin taking Crestor. I intend to use this blog to discuss any changes that I notice in my body and/or energy level.
