Just so you know:

My doctor pushes statins on me every visit. My answer is always the same. She just logs in my file I have rejected the medication. This is a liability issue, not a medical one IMO. In fact I typically get lower cholesterol readings with metformin (which I just restarted) and she pushed them again before I even had the tests.

Statins for older patients increase hemorrhagic strokes. This is a given and in studies. Do you want that risk?

Any doctor pushing statins on a person with multiple causation PN.. already... needs a rethink. Don't spend your money on this person!

Just read what is out there on statins now. Each day the information stacks against them. Not the reverse. And the most impressive studies come from nonAmerican sources. That should tell you something in addition.
