Statin Intolerance: What did you do?

I have high VLDL and Lp(a) which seemingly cannot be affected by diet. It is genetic. I was unable to take statins due to muscle issues with every type. I was put on Praluent which worked like a charm in lowering overall cholesterol and especially LDL. No side effects. Then my insurance ceased covering Praluent and I was switched to Repatha. I have not had a blood test since I went on Repatha to be able to assess its effectiveness but I haven't had any side effects.

They had me on statins for eight years, my leg muscles got so bad I had trouble getting around. I researched statins and could not find one positive article. When I challenged the cardiologist he said, "Well, we can take you of them, you really don't have high cholesterol anyway. I've been off statins for 3 plus years and my cholesterol is 20 points lower than when I was on statins. Diet/supplements, do your homework.
