Thank you for the post. I did have creatine checked but don't remember the result. I tried a all of the statins on the market, over time, and they all triggered really painful (and I thought dangerous) leg cramping so I don't take any of them. I still have elevated cholesterol but mostly of the larger molecule size which is also less likely to clump or cause arterial buildup so my cardiologist is less concerned about the statins now.
