I have a question to those of us using Lupron

I have just received an answer to my Lupron and muscle/bone pain.
The cause was not Lupron. I have developed a statin intolerance. Odd that this has occurred simultaneously with my cancer but that is the case. I stopped taking my statin and low and behold as of today after a month of no statin I am near pain free. Perhaps Lupron stimulated the statin response - who knows. I doubt it was merely coincidence.
But the fact remains - by stopping statin my pain has literally disappeared. Now the question becomes - how will I control my lipid issues without statins??

My wife is statin intolerant and uses Cholestraymine (Prevalite). A powder which is mixed in water. It seems to work for her.
I recently had a similar experience while on Relugolix and statins. I was experiencing extreme muscle and joint stiffness which to some degree was expected being on Relugolix, however, my Doctor recommended stopping the statin for 5 weeks. The result was quite remarkable.
My Oncologist suggested that the statin combined with Relugolix could have been the problem. I will be switching to Zetia in an attempt to control the cholesterol.
I've been on Luperon for two years and had no problem, then my heart Dr. put me on a station and the last year I've had arm and leg joints pain. I figured it was the length of being on the Luperon but it makes sense that the discomfort came on a few months after I started the statin, I'll be talking to my Dr about it soon.
Thanks for the input I'm 78 and have always exercised and now can barely make it around the block or up the stairs.
