I've now been on rosuvastatin and ezetimibe for several years with zero noticeable negative effects. I'm hoping that this with other behavior modification can help stave off further damage for a while.

I recommend the same. There are other interventions, but these two medications are straightforward to obtain with low or no side effects.
