I have CHF and take my heart med faithfully - but have refused to take 3 other drugs over the past 5 years that have, all 3!, now been banned for causing heart attacks and strokes!

What three are you referring to?

Baycol and Vioxx - and one I can't remember the name of - When I was prescribed Baycol, I researched it and didn't like all the "possible" side effects, so never took it. The stats on Vioxx were not so alarming, so I took it. It worked very well, but , fortunately, I took it sparingly. I also refused to take - for decades - HRT, hormone replacement therapy, because even 30 years ago, there were too many references to possible links to cancer. Glad I stuck to my guns on that one!
