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.
