Statins are terrible for you and can cause both confusion and leg weakness. Our cardiologist took bith my husband and I off of them and now I take rapatha injection and husband takes Nexlizet pill. Better all around.
I think higher doses of B12 are helping too. This getting old and/or ill is like a never ending research project and I appreciate all information.

At our last meeting with the GP, I brought up the potential for statins to cause mental confusion and the GP agreed to a trial without the statins for six weeks. One immediate result was an end to unexplained episodes of hives. I have to be careful not to see what I want to see. That said, my husband does seem much more normal than when he was on the statin. Did you experience any resistance from doctors about going off statins? I'm concerned our doctor is a big fan. I will note the rapatha injection and Nexlizet pill to bring up at our next appointment. Are you aware of any other options? We are also experimenting with some supplements, such as Vitamin B. Thanks.
