Ubiquinol is king for preventing the side effects of statins, especially the cramps. 200mg daily available over the counter. Personally I don't think anyone should be given any statin without also being advised to go on that.
If you can get someone on the line to whine about the statin side effects see if they'll switch you to ezetimibe instead. It is a super effective dirt cheap non statin cholesterol med. You'd still want to pair it with the ubiquinol because it can also cause cramps though usually not as bad.
