I know what you mean - at 37, I haven’t been able to force myself to take the statins even though I got the rx filled.
@ 42 I was on the fence and had been there for a long time. But I promised myself I’d go where my research took me.
After considerable time researching the issue, and, in particular, after consulting the newest New England Journal of Medicine studies and megastudies (summation of studies) of the utility of statins I finally resolved myself to taking the dang things.
Two months in and so far so good. Of course I may have forgotten experiencing some negative side effects one of which, it is alleged though not proven, - global amnesia.
