Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hi, As some of you may know...I am dealing with cholestrol and associated cramps from the medication. One thing that has happened since the last post is that I have started some moderate excercise (treadmill) and the cramps seem to have subsided. I am just hoping that it will stay that way as it does not seem to be as influenced by cholesterol drugs (I had some cramps even when I started Pravachol replacing Lipitor). At least that is the current story for me. In any case, when I was browsing the web, I found the following statement interesting. May be most of you have heard of this...but I do not know how I missed this information before (never heard this from my Doctors)..and also that it helps protect kidney function. Regards, Bhanu " Patients with IgA nephropathy often have high cholesterol. Reducing cholesterol--through diet, medication, or both--appears to help slow the progression of IgA nephropathy.
