Sure, Martin. Also, statins are different. I was initially started on the standby - atorvastatin - and my hepatic and muscle enzymes went nuts. At a later date, I tried pitavastatin, low dose, and did fine, and have for 3 years. So far....... Also, just to be clear, despite practicing clinical (mostly in the trenches) medicine for ~45 years, I offer no recommendations here. My only dog in this hunt is my own aging and beaten body. If we really knew what to do, we'd all be doing it...... jon

Glad you pointed out that you're sharing yourself with us, Jon @bluesdoc, and not providing medical advice particular to any of our members. Those of us who have been around Mayo Connect a while have learned that we don't offer diagnoses or recommend medical treatments, but instead share with everybody our personal perspectives on our medical hopes and medical care. That way we can each compare our situation with others and figure out how to put that information on the discussion table with our own medical team. Thanks for joining us in this venture.
