Any experience of Bempedoic

I have been taking statins for some 9 years I have had problems with LFT being high and taken off for 9 months when cholesterol went back up to 7.9.

Eventually went back on when LFT ok, then in last year tried Ezetimibe with simvastatin but I have gastric troubles and made worst, so just back on simvastatin keeps down too5.3 ,but in march consultant wanted me to try Bempedoic, once blood tests done, as I was getting facial numbness headaches ,2 months later, due to gp apps taking so long, GP told me cholesterol now 9.2 but not sure what to put me on as uric acid boarder line and folic acid a bit low? I know consultant said to try Bempedoic as long as blood tests ok. But I am panicking as never been 9.2 before! And GP said I should get printout sent to consultant and ask her, surely he should do this? And maybe Bempedoic wouldn't suit me either, but apparently it doesn't give muscle aches, and I have fibromyalgia so that's important HELP!!
