My daughter is on them. My doctor wants me on them because I have 2 arteries that are accumulating plaque. It was found from a CT scan with dye. He is trying to prevent a stroke or heart attack before it happens. My brother died suddenly from a massive heart attack and so did my husband's brother. Also my dad and his 2 brothers. I really think that statins may have saved my brother. He was 59 and Al's brother was younger. The doctor had told my brother that the tests he had, showed his arteries needed stints because they had accumulated plaque to the point of filling up. It scared him and he wouldn't have it done. Less than a month later he was dead.
MY best friend had what is called a "widow maker" heart attack because her main artery that feeds blood to the heart had completely clogged up. She is my age. Through the mercy of God she survived. Of course she is like Songbird and takes a statin. So tomorrow I will go back on my statin 3 days a week and see what happens. I also take apple cider vinegar every day and eat well. I do not want a stroke.
