Today marks 1 month since starting Crestor and I've had NO side effects! I'm still only taking half a pill (2.5) 3 days per week, but I feel good. I still jog daily. I had a few times of achiness in my knees, but I think it is unrelated to the statin.
I did start COQ10 at 200 a few days before starting the statin. I will see my new (hopefully keep-able) cardiologist at the end of the month and will see if we do labs then. I have also found my ferritin is very low so I started iron tablets and that has semed to help some of my fatigue.

Awesome! You will have such great news to share with your cardiologist.

I know there are a couple types of CoQ10 and I take Ubiquinol. Which type did you start?

@rainerhans is waiting for a cardiology conversation. I am super curious to hear how that goes, and your appointment as well.
