I don't know why some people keep saying that statin intolerance isn't a thing! I had a harrowing experience as well. I started on low dose Lipitor (I think 10mg) and for a few month didn't notice anything. Then I started to get cramping but didn't suspect Lipitor then on a vacation it started getting so bad I couldn't walk. Discontinuing the drug resolved symptoms in a couple days as I recall. The doctor had me try low dose pravastatin I had symptoms of tendon pain and this time I stopped quickly before risking a repeat scenario as with Lipitor. Fortunately (for me) my levels were not too bad that my doctor suggested just diet modifications and accept a little higher level (said guidelines changed for my "older" age anyway).
