Your symptoms sound very much like statin poisoning. Statins have never shown any benefit for females in clinical trials. The risks are high, and the benefits are ZERO. but the drug companies are eager to sell you the drug anyway. Try not to be too concerned with cholesterol. The new published range for cholesterol has been lowered to artificially low levels to increase sales of statins. Maintaining adequate levels of cholesterol is important to good health and longevity. Cholesterol is not the culprit in heart disease.
