“There have been rare post-marketing reports of cognitive impairment (such as memory loss, forgetfulness, amnesia, memory impairment, and confusion) associated with statin use.”
I was on statins and thought I was becomming senile.
Got off of them because of the muscle pain and my mental issues have cleared up.
Ha...you were lucky....i thought i had adzheimers
was 15 years ago...anyway...at one point I read the label and noticed the warning about muscle loss....so i stopped taking the statins....and slowly got better>
I passed the physical for truck drivers license at age 71...drove interstate for 2 years...and 6 months driving delivering propane.....the delivery hose is 150 ft long and weighs 1.75 lb per foot...it's necessary to pull the entire hose out and check for leaks every week...when i started could only pull about 30 ft out without stopping....by the time i quit could pull the entire 150 ft hose off the reel on gravel road without stopping.
now i control cholesterol, glucoese and BP with heavy weight lifting...just passed 365lb leg press...which might explain why i busted the clutch linkage on my 78 ford F100 truck twice. (its all manual)...not too shabby at age 75....now i drive part time for uber.
