Im diabetic, type 2. Funny thing is I was diagnosed in 2008 when I was trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon. I was stick thin at 157 lbs. Today I'm 213 and have continued to take the crestor. My question is, crestor and medications that lower cholesterol have been linked to memory lost and joint and muscle aches/stiffness. Something Ive experienced. Should a person look for natural methods to lower cholesterol?
