@sueinmn follow up question: can you describe what "not tolerating" statin looked like? Did you feel flu-like? Sick for days? Post-exertional malaise? Or were you facing other problems?

@danpinkston24 Every statin I tried, even in very low doses, caused intense muscle cramping. It got so bad a few times that my leg would lock at a 90⁰ angle while I was walking around. The cramps were followed by days of intense aching that nothing relieved.
