I have to say, since I started digging in this, I had several scared moments. I'm a long time member on many forums where health isn't the topic but it usually comes up off-topic many times. On several, use of statins have been discussed and up to now I haven't really understood or cared. But on one forum for example there was a person who's parent was put in a home after they introduced statins to them, because of "Alzheimer's", it was like "OK, lets put this person to die in a home" without even thinking about med side effects. I dunno, I just got a pretty bad feeling from that one.

I mean, they could have had dementia for sure, but it did coincide with starting the statin and it ended that bad. Does that happen a lot? If something reversible is mixed up with something irreversible... it really frightens me.
