The doctor want to put my mother on them over 10 years ago. She read the fine print and said no thanks. Now at 86, she’s nearly blind but otherwise quite active.
I’ve been on them since about 1989 starting with pravastatin. My mother was on them over the same time period until her fall in 2019, after which she died at 102. Ultrasound showed only 30% occlusion of a certain artery at age 100.
