[QUOTE="lindisfel, post: 1177168, member: 57698"] One has to weigh the various medications in the balance and take those that do not ruin our present and future quality of life. It may be in certain circumstances an operation can help us with the health problem but we possibly may not survive the surgery. I have been on statins for years and now stopped. I have also been on warfarin and have a pacemaker. Warfarin and statins are vit k antagonists that cause arterial calcification. The novel anticoagulants do not do this. It is never black and white, we have to chose for ourselves in the end. We can always change if we feel we made a bad choice of medication. I have to decide to have or not, a large tumour removed that is not cancer that produces 20x the normal aldosterone. The meds are horrid but I may not survive the op! :) At the end of the day of decision it is nice to be able to put it in God's hands and hope for an improved future. regards Derek [/QUOTE]
