At the moment my understating is they may lengthen my life by 3 days. They may work on one of the symptoms of high ldl cholesterol, but high ldl cholesterol may not be the killer its painted to be.  I think currently there are several pieces of the jigsaw missing and I personally dont want to be on medications for 30+ years, especially where the long term effects of those medicines have not been fully tested. Imho the drugs industry and medical profession have jumped too soon onto a cheap and easy bandwagon that is yet to be fully proven.As I said, I'm still researching and won't be rushing to jump either way.I'm in remission, of normal weight , no blood pressure issues, no other markers for heart disease, no family history .I've only been prescribed them because of my age and my t2. No one has looked at the fuller individual picture of me. I just ticked 2 boxes. Is that enough reason to be prescribed lifelong drugs? I think not.Just my humble opinion</blockquote>
