Hello, I asked a question some hours ago on the medical questions forum and I think that a new one will be welcome on the general support forum. My medical problems begun in 2011. After a 5 months medication with CRESTOR 5 mg, I was unable to run as good as I did before. As soon as the beginning of the run, I was very tied, I was short of breath and I did not understand. In october 2012 occurred my first vascular cerebral stroke. In march 2016, occurred an other vascular cerebral stroke, much more serious. Some months ago, a doctor said to me that I was infected by Lyme disease. Do you think that Lyme bacterium is at the origin of my struggles ? Thanks for your answer. CHOUBI who fights to survive

Crestor is a statin drug. All statins have terrible effects on the body. They make people tired!
You must take a supplement called CoQ10 if you take any statin. That is because statins make the patient deficient in CoQ10. I would take 400 mg per day of the CoQ10. It is expensive.
Many, many people get muscle or body pains from all statins. These pains are terrible! My husband gets them all over his body with every statin that they have given him. He tried at least 4 of them. Now, he refuses to take any statins.
Look up the side effects of Crestor. Learn about this drug and decide whether you still want to take it.
How does the doctor know that you have lyme disease? Did you get a positive lyme test? or is it due to your symptoms that he believes you have lyme?

I have not heard of lyme causing strokes.

When I had lyme disease, I had very high cholesterol levels. My lyme doctor told me not to worry about it. He said that lyme causes this.
He said that once I got rid of lyme my cholesterol would return to normal. Sure enough. That is exactly what happened.
