Same here.. Statins hurt me all over... niacin did not produce any results short of flushing like a menopausal woman. Doc kept experimenting with other brands for me, but all seem to hurt my joints/tendons... I quit taking all of that $#$@#$ (I should point out my levels are not bad, just borderline)

I'm losing weight instead.. Maybe it's not enough (genetic cholesterol? we'll see), but those pills were gonna kill me faster than the cholesterol ;-)

PS: tried flaxseed as well.. it's not bad, but it has....side effects ;-)
