My Mom is on atorvastatin, and the thought of memory loss and confusion side effects with her already having Alzheimer's is horrible to contemplate.
My total cholesterol runs on the high side, but my underlying numbers tend to be good, so I never worried too much and when I asked my Dr, he didn't seem too concerned. He ordered a cholesterol study when I had my physical in November, but I didn't do it because I'm not going to take a statin, and I'm already trying to get more exercise and eat better so what's the point?
