Have you ever heard the expression BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE with Rx, you weigh the good with the bad.
Personally The newerRx seem to have more side affects then older Rx does.
Can you get off statins, or lower dosage? Maybe watch diet more?
It was once said by a well known doctor, that doctors prescribe so much Rx is because patients want to walk out of office with a prescription in their hand.
There is a lot of truth to that.

@funcountess So true!
@funcountess I forgot to put your code name down the last time I sent a message. I told you what statin I'm on and the success I have had with it.

@funcountess... The statin he prescribed is 5 mg. The lowest dosage. I do not like taking any meds. I changed doctor once because he used to work for big pharma before becoming a doctor so every time I go there, he wanted to give me a prescription. I have always been a healthy eater, no fast food, no sugary stuff, low sodium, lots of vegetables . No alcohol, no caffeine, no smoking. No beef for a long time, lots of salmon, sardines etc. If I hadn't had the TIA, I would not be on statin or blood thinner.
