Welcome to the forum. I am glad you brought this up. I was on Zocor for awhile and I am wondering now if that is what messed my memory up.

I am 56. I have so much trouble with memory. I cannot remember words nor dates nor things that happen anymore.

I have told my Dr. this many times. Mine seems beyond normal memory loss. I can't remember how to spell words and no matter how many times I try I can't get them spelled right. I was always good at spelling. I was always good at math and go through the same thing.

I see my Dr. often and when we are talking I know he notices I have trouble with finding the right words for things. He won't say anything to me for fear of upsetting me but I know he knows how bad it is.

My cholesterol is over 300 and it won't come down. I do watch what I eat also but my Mom died of a stroke and heart attack so I feel sure that I inherited that from her side of the family. My Grandpa died at 62 of one.

I am glad you found us and I hope you stick around. You will learn a lot here and enjoy the company.

Ada
