[QUOTE="Donnadoobie, post: 2594324, member: 199062"] I think my risk has gone up from 11% in September last year but is probably around 13/14% meaning there is 85/86% chance I might have a heart attack or stroke. I will take my chances. My Mum had high cholesterol and was prescribed statins. After few months she felt really weird in her head, she felt so bad she stopped taking them, which says a lot, as she always followed doctors orders! From that point, she went downhill, slowly but surely until she was diagnosed with dementia. She died aged 88. The last 3 years of her life were lost. But she had an amazing 85 years. Who can ask for more?! [/QUOTE]
