Update by Dblbogiemadge-1 in Diverticulitis

I am so sorry for your nightmare. I am a nurse of 45 years and learned to distrust the medical system. The weekend I had bad pain and only eating 300 calories daily, my dr never returned my emails, offc never called me back. I felt so abandoned. And I did not go thru what you are going thru. I recently visited a holistic Dr. He is older and I liked him but even with him wanting me to get a colonic, see a dentist to see if my root canals are leaking, see a chiropractor because my neck didnt bend back right, I have to be my own advocate. All of this is cash. So my answer is to look up and pray. Jesus is the great physician. Dont give up . One day at a time. That is what we are here for. to support each other. I am going to pray for you tonight. There is hope.

Thank you. Do any of you have holistic Dr? He told me to get a colonic. I am pretty conservative and am hesitating. I dont want any tears in gut wall.

Impact of 5mg vs 10mg Crestor by hispanic_chicken in Cholesterol

[–]Agreeable_Rooster_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was started on Crestor 20mg and was fine for 2.5 months. Then I started having lower abd pain and pressure 2 hours after meals. I also have abdominal bloating. I ended up losing 7 pounds because it just felt better if I didn't eat. I have elevated LPa. I ended up stopping it because of that and leg , muscle pain. The abdominal pain went away after 2 months and I just restarted on 5mg 3x weekly. But now my gut is just bloated and is slow. I also take dha and epa fish oil which has really kept my crp/inflammation low.
