The only regular medication I take is Crestor. Like all statins Crestor can cause nerve issues (but none of the reports I have read talk about fasciculations -- they all concentrate on more serious issues like myopathy). I have been on statins now for over 20 years. I am switching to generic Lipitor next month, not because of side-effects but because my insurance won't cover the high cost of Crestor any longer. I'll see if it makes a difference.
