Lou,
Talk to your doctor about flax seed oil or fish oil supplements. Another alternative is niacin. I also recommend eating oatmeal every day. It really will help lower your cholesterol. Some prescription drugs your MD can consider are Tricor or Trilipix or Lopid. Those three can raise HDL and lower LDL and total cholesterol. I don't think a statin is the right fit for you given the severity of your reaction to multiple members of the drug class. Good luck!
