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.

My husband was concerned I had Alzheimer's.

Fatigue, memory problems, getting lost driving in familiar places, weakness, all of it was due to the statin. A neurophysch told me those in his profession were seeing more and more people who had the same experience as mine and all was connected to statins.

Such care and concern for your friend. You are a true friend.

Dr. Graveline MD (former astronaut) had the lost memory effects...I posted that earlier here in this thread.

Look him up.... he is highly militant about the dangers of statins.

You can Google "statins memory loss" and find quite a bit about it.
I think it is a serious issue...which people should pay attention to.
