I'm specifically referring to its use to alleviate statin associated muscle symptoms
a simple Google search will show you a lot of literature (American college of cardiology, American heart association)

I took pravastatin years ago and started having chest pain every morning when I first wake up and then my muscles in my forearms became 80% useless. I was then informed that statins could cause those symptoms so I quit them, that was ummm 18 years ago. Took about 2 months for the chest pain to go away and around 10 years to get my arms back to 90%.
So currently my cholesterol always runs 270-280 and my current heart doctor keeps trying to get me to take a statin and he just says take a CoQ10 with it. I refuse it all.
PS... I was able to get on Praulent injectible for some time and it literally cut my cholesterol 50% but BCBS quit covering it and I'm not paying $1300 month for the med
