I did insist my doctor order a CPK when I was having the pain from lovastatin, and it was normal, so of course my doctor concluded it was all in my head. I'm definitely leary of Crestor from what I've read about it and my HMO would never order it or any still on patent drug until I'd tried a few of the generic ones first. She suggested simvastatin, but it looks pretty similar to lovastatin from what I've read. Frankly, there's nothing in my life that makes me want to prolong it until my twilight years, but I'm terrified of having a non-fatal but disabling stroke and ending up in a nursing home.
