Jane,
You absolutely did the right thing getting your husband off statins. They're not for everyone - if you start suffering from their side effects you may as well look for an alternate treatment, or be prepared to accept chronic, debilitating, potentially fatal side effects in exchange for a small decrease in your statistical chance of having a heart attack ( most statin studies indicate a 1-2% absolute reduction in risk).
Let us know how you do on the Protandim.... (And if you only make it to 102, dinner's on me!!!
