high cholesterol
"After having unwanted side affects with two other statins, my PCP suggested trying Crestor.  This was about 6 years ago.  Since then, as he states it, I could be the poster boy for Crestor.  At only a 5mg/day dosage my cholesterol level has dropped from ~290 to consistently below 200 with no side affects.  My only concern is there is no generic alternative and it is VERY expensive when the insurance companies declare that it's not in their formulary of preventive medications.  I've been lucky that my PCP has been able to convince the ins co that I can't tolerate an alternative, so have not had to pay for the medication for the past several years (treated as preventative).  That's changing now that I'm retired and have to go to new insurance"
