Hi Neisie
Yes, they put my husband on a baby aspirin every day and also he did need to go on statins. He probably should have been on them 10 years ago however he always complains that he has leg cramps. Now he is fine because he is drinking a lot of water. I make sure of it each day lol and my husband did have the MRA of his head and neck as well. All they saw on these scans was that he did have little TIAs that were very old so they were non-significant. When we got off the plane and went to my son‘s house, he woke about five in the morning complaining of a terrific pain in the back of his neck and blurry vision and could not move both arms. He also felt nauseous . I really got scared and thought it was a stroke, but the results showed that there was no stroke, and the doctors came to the conclusion that his arteries may have been clogged so therefore he is now on Repath and satins and baby aspirin. My husband did say that by drinking a lot of water he does not have the cramping from the statins. I hope this is a help to you.

@susanpmadigan Thank you for filling me in on the details of what happened. It does sound like he has had all the appropriate tests and is on the best preventive medications so hopefully his symptoms won't return. I have been on a statin for years and drink plenty of water but didn't have the same symptoms and they pointed more to a TIA. I am relieved that all my tests have come back normal. I do have an autoimmune disease so maybe that is playing a part. I hope you have a great fall season and that you will still be able to see your son either at home or in Florida!!
