Sideffect Of Crestor (Cholesterol Lowering Pills)
I've been taking Crestor (Cholesterol lowering pills) for a couple weeks. My eyelids swell up in the morning? Could this be a sideffect from taking Crestor?

That is a new one, even for me. I believe that statins cause eye and ear problems, but never heard of that one. Did you know that statins can effect your memory and your personality?
Do you know that statins kill as many patients as they help. Yep, for every heart attack they prevent, a person will die of cancer or other infection due to the immuno suppressive effect.
I could go on for days but I will sign off as usual,
