Yes, I agree. I find that I have a "line" that I have to cross to feel "comfortable" with any decision. I have to feel that I have done everything I can and researched all options in order to feel comfortable with any medication or supplement. I have an additional problem though I overreact to most meds and many supplements. I see to have a genetic condition that lends to this reaction.
So for me to take a med like a statin I would have to be desperate, because there is a good chance, based on past experiences, that I will experience the one in a million reaction. My husband is different and is taking statins with good results. He loves them and is irritating me because my home now seems full of foods that we didn't eat before he felt statin would protect him from them...sigh
Something that is really helping me with working thru all my options is AI copilot. I am not as enamored with Ai google and the Google ai mode for personal health questions, but copilot is better at finding all options and placing them into context. Might give it a try and see if it helps you work thru your options.
