Has anyone else had rare reactions to statins?

@backhand Any cognitive side effects? I recently took injection number two, three months after the first. I have had some extreme episodes of memory loss. For a brief period, I lose very basic items from my memory, like the location of my kitchen, how to turn off the alarm, like my middle name. Then memory returns and I feel unsure of it for a while. Then normalcy returns. My daughter calls them moments of being scatter-brained and says I have never been scatter-brained before. Any episodes of being scatter-brained? Unusual memory loss?

@tatiana987 No, no cognitive effects but I have only had the first dose. I get the second dose in a month. I will let you know how it goes. With Repatha, the side effects kept building up and just got worse as time went on, really limiting my athletic activities and causing some depression. After 3 to 4 months off Repatha all the side effects went away.
