Brief Answer:
Are you still on crestor?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I have reviewed your information fully and curious to know if you are still on crestor or not as most of these symptoms may be explained by this drug.

Let me know before going on with the discussion and making more definitive calls and recommendations. Until then, I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
I will recommend that you see a rheumatologist!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this detail information.

I have reviewed the records fully and am concerned that you could be having a rheumatological disorder. I will recommend that you see a rheumatologist to get tested for autoimmune disorders of the muscles and soft tissue. With frequent urination, I will also like to see at least a test being done for diabetes to role out this possibility.

These symptoms are unlikely to be explained by the crestor seen how sparingly you have taken it. I will suggest that you discontinue this treatment and get your blood lipids controlled again. This way we will know exactly where we stand.

Nice to hear the risperidone has been discontinued.

I will recommend healthy diet, no smoking, minimal alcohol consumption, regular physical exercise and if you do have excess weight, try to put off some. These will all aid in your general and especially cardiovascular health.

Let me know what your immediate thoughts are.
