My wife had similar issues with statins but she has very high cholesterol and wants it lower. She has good results with Repatha, an injectable non statin. She had to jump through a lot of hoops to get our insurance to cover it.

My cholesterol is borderline and I am not sure whether my aches and pains are statin related, caused by my Parkinson's disease, by plain old age or all three. I dumped the statins in any event. Docs like it but the benefits don't seem great and I want to keep my meds down to a reasonable degree if I can.
