Quit statins about 1 1/2 yr ago after much reading. Best thing I EVER did! I no longer use a walker or cane. I no longer live in post-a-note city just to remember stuff. At my cholest check a month ago, my levels were all way better than when I was on them (and Dr thought they would be worse because I quit) Of all things, I'm thankful I can think clearly and not worry I'm heading into dementia! Neighbors, friends & fam cannot believe the positive changes they see...yay me :-)
