I was prescribed statins . I took them for awhile until I found out what they do to your body long term.
I have declined to go on statins at my last three Medicare annual wellness checks. Each time the caregiver has written “refused statins” in my chart. At the last visit the argument I was shortening my life was so strong I looked at him and said, “I have lived a good life and I am prepared to meet God at any moment.” The conversation immediately ended.
My cholesterol numbers are borderline, not off the charts and have been steady for decades. Yet the big push for me to take them did not begin until I went on Medicare. I wonder why.
Did you find out through research or injury?
