Hello fadetoblack,
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.
I'm very sorry to read about your friend and I hope that you can find information here that will be of help.
I have a friend who was having an extremely difficult time and the doctors decided she had a form of dementia. After being taken off her Statin medication, she's become well again. True story.
You can find other posts across various forums here regarding Statins if you use the forum search feature.
