Everyone on a statin should be on CoQ10 but doctors rarely mention it unless you ask them about it.

Many people taking statins have trouble - I think legs and mental issues like memory are the most common.

I've been on statins for the past 10 years, and I heartily agree about the need to supplement with CoQ10.  Also, start taking no flush niacin. Regular niacin can cause flushing in some people; the no flush variety doesn't. Niacin builds HDL, the good cholesterol - mine went up 10 points since I started niacin 6 months ago.  That may result in your being able to lessen the statin dosage.
I presume your diet is in "cholesterol control" mode, although dietary intake in some people, like me, doesn't have a huge effect on blood serum cholesterol levels.  But I still eat Eggbeaters instead of eggs, no more than 2 pizzas a month, little cheese and tons of fish, especially wild salmon.
I'm happy with my results a couple of weeks ago from my annual physical - total cholesterol at 145, HDL at 55, LDL at 65.
Remember that HDL means "healthy", so it can be as high as possible.  LDL means "lethal", so get it down as low as possible.

By the way, I worked for 33 years in a print shop with 8 presses going at once. It involved ink, glue and solvent. Smelled that all those years. Company went out of business after I retired. Anyway I think that could possibly have affected me. I did have what I called flop foot for 6 months while I worked there and it went away.I used Bigeloil horse liniment on my legs. I'm trying that again. Had a neurologist check it, but never found out what caused it. Asked doc. about CoQ10 and he said it hasn't been proven that it does anything. I hope stopping the Statin drug makes it better, but not sure what he will do about the cholesterol. Get my physical next month. Until I feel comfortable on a bike again I will not ride one. Thanks for all your input.
