High Cholesterol
"I&#039;ve taken most of the statins.  I ALWAYS ended up with leg cramps.  At 44, I had to have a Stent placed due to a 95% blockage.  And that&#039;s when I started seeing my cardiologist.  Upon hearing of the leg cramps, he ran a simple blood test and told me that my vitamin D was extremely low (4) and the real cause of the cramps.   I now take 50k iu of vitamin D 3x weekly.  I have NEVER had a cramp on Crestor, except when I forgot to take my vitamin D.  As soon as I started the D back up, the cramps ceased.  Even at 50k iu 3x weekly, my regulnar blood tests indicate that my vitamin D is now in the normal range (&gt;29).  And my cholesterol went from over 300 to down around 150.



If u have cramps, I recommend the D check."
