There was also a case where a person started having cognitive problems after starting Crestor. They became forgetful, had trouble concentrating, and it affected their work performance. They didn't realize it could be related to the drug at first, and when they found out, they were shocked. It took a long time for them to get back to normal after stopping the medication.
Sure. I've heard of a patient who developed rhabdomyolysis while on Crestor. Rhabdomyolysis is a very serious condition where muscle tissue breaks down and releases a protein into the blood that can damage the kidneys. This patient had to be hospitalized immediately and it was a life - threatening situation all because of taking Crestor.
A particular horror story involves a streamer. The streamer was using Destiny Tracker to show their fans their progress and stats during a live stream. All of a sudden, the Destiny Tracker showed that the streamer had committed some 'cheating' actions that they never did. This not only ruined their reputation during the stream but also led to some of their fans turning against them. It took a lot of effort for the streamer to prove their innocence later, and it was a real horror story for them in the world of Destiny and Destiny Tracker.
A young inmate's story is also quite harrowing. He was new to Pollsmoor and got involved in a fight not of his own making. Some inmates were fighting over territory in the prison yard, and he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was severely beaten, and when he tried to report it, the guards didn't take it seriously. He had to endure the pain and fear of further attacks all by himself.
I heard about a Humane Society where the staff was neglecting the animals. They would forget to feed the cats regularly. Some of the cats became extremely thin and weak. It was a really sad situation as these cats were relying on the Humane Society for care.
There was a case where a person's skin got so inflamed from using retinol that they had to stop using all skincare products for a while. The inflammation was so bad that it took weeks for the skin to calm down, and during that time, they had to be very careful about what they ate and how they exposed their skin to the environment.
Sure. One success story could be a patient who had high cholesterol levels. After starting Crestor, their cholesterol dropped significantly within a few months. They noticed they had more energy and felt generally healthier.
Yes. I heard of a case where Prilosec seemed to disrupt a person's normal gut flora. They had been taking it for a while, and then they started having all kinds of digestive problems like diarrhea and bloating that they didn't have before. It was a real horror for them as it affected their daily life and they had to stop taking Prilosec and try to find other ways to manage their original issue.
Yes. I heard of someone who got a booster and then had a very high fever for days. It was really concerning as it didn't go down with normal fever - reducing medications. Another story is about a person who got a booster and then felt like their heart was racing all the time. They were worried that there was something seriously wrong with their heart.
There's a story of someone in an MLM for essential oils. The MLM had a complex compensation plan that was really hard to understand. The person was constantly misled by their upline about how much they could earn. They kept buying more oils to reach different levels in the plan. In the end, they had a room full of oils they couldn't sell, and they realized that the MLM model was designed to benefit only those at the very top, leaving most of the recruits in financial trouble.
Once there was a healer who didn't understand the mechanics of a new boss fight. They were supposed to heal through a certain debuff but instead they tried to cleanse it, which made the situation worse. This led to the whole party taking massive damage and several wipes before they figured out what was wrong.
Well, I heard about a family whose Thanksgiving was ruined by a power outage. They had all the food cooking in the oven and on the stove, and suddenly, everything went dark. The turkey was only half - cooked, and all the side dishes were left in a state of limbo. They had to eat cold sandwiches instead of a warm Thanksgiving meal.
