May I ask what does TMJ mean ... cannot translate to Spanish.

I know of only one case of higher than average CPK levels - an 80 year 
old man who had a stend since 1994, and in 2002 had to go through 
coronary surgery. He had been on atorvastatin since 1994, and this year 
(13 years of atorvastatin use, 10 mg/day) his CPK was found above normal 
concentration.

Rosurvastatin has been introduced here since two years, any news there ? 
(HDL, side efects etc.)
I'm a psychiatrist so not too familiar with the subject.
