Cholesterol Drugs

[Louie and me]

That's my fear Laura's Babies - I'm well on the wrong side of 65 and have enough problems remembering things as it is. Don't need any help to be forgetful!

[Laura's Babies]

I personally know a man who had a episode of TGA while on Lipitor that scared him to death. It lasted for about 6 hours. He called his wife at work and she knew immediately something was wrong with him and came home and took him to the ER. They did all kinds of tests on him and could find no reason for his amnesia.. His daughter had heard me talk about statin drug side effects and invited me to meet them in Atlanta for the week end and while I was there she casually asked me to tell him about my experience on Lipitor. He listen and I could see many light bulb moments as he listened to what had happened to me and then he confessed to me about his TGA and asked me if that could have been caused by statin drugs and I took him to Space Doc's web sight and let him read Space Doc's story of his TGA's he had on statins..

He wasn't convinced though and said he was going to continue to take it but if it happened again he would stop... Wasn't long after that, he stopped. That was when his daughter confessed to me that was why she invited me to meet them in Atlanta, to talk to him about what statins had done to me.. I didn't have no TGA episodes on them but I did loose time and often missed my exit on the interstate and had no memory of passing it.
