two years ago I was diagnosed as having 'dangerously high" cholesterol levels, and the very young woman prescribed medication for it (the name escapes me at the monent) which turned me into a zombie. Literally. After a week i called and told her I was going off the meds. She was horrified. Much of my memory now is gone, forever. I can remember stuff, but not necessarily recent things. Tell me you will be wearing a red scarf so I can find you in the crowd, and within minutes I have no memory of any of it. And the high cholesterol this year was considered 'normal' five years ago.
