Title: Crestor the Magnificent
Post by: thunter34 on March 22, 2007, 10:46:01 pm

OK- here it is:  I've noticed that I have started sporting some major wood since starting Crestor a few weeks back.  Like I could cut diamonds with it.  I'm wondering if this is an oh-so-pleasant side effect of improved circulation due to the Crestor- or is this all in my, um....head.  Anyone else experienced with Crestor or have any input about this?  I'd like to bone up on the topic.

If I had a digicam, there probably would be.  I am quite happy with the tents I have been pitching.

Crestor boning you up?

Possibly, see eg Statins and erectile dysfunction (http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/band148/b148-2.html). (However, this article may depress you, since overall the rate of erectile dysfunction seems to be higher in men on statins overall, but then there are counfonding factors, age, comorbidity etc).[/url]

Hmmmmm,


Well, I wish my simvastatin would work that way, but I'm afraid not.

Crestor + newt = boner.    ;D


HA!  I knew there had to be some kinda connecton going on!  I guess I am one of the lucky ones getting, um...a lift from Crestor.  Maybe there is a seasonal element, too.  Maybe that and the Crestor are helping Mini Me.  I'm feeling rather amorous lately also.  Maybe the wood is sparking that.  Maybe that is also sparking the wood.  I'll take it either way!


I am one horny little hound lately.  The crack of dawn ain't safe...
