Important information about statins that I’m going to ask my doc about
Just a bit of information I discovered last week. One of the side effects of taking "simvistatin" is temporary memory loss. It is the only statin that has this effect. I am going to talk to my .doctor about stopping it, with his guidance of course. I have had some short lapses in memory .... forgetting part of my phone number, etc.

Thanks, @lioness. I had not heard about the bagel mix before. It sounds great. I'll look for that next time I'm in the store.
Very True… I experienced it.
Omg I have to take the Darn statin cause I had a stroke in my eye!!!! Hate them. Which one is better?
Will I get notified about answers?
@rjwintl Also you can buy bagel mix in spice section and sprinkle it on sourdough toast butter first if you want that's good too
U Betcha !!! ... so far , the advice of the Mayo Clinic to consume Sourdough Bread is like a God-send , especially when my PCP has told me NOT to do any white bread !!! ... I've even found a new favorite bagel , sourdough bagels ... with a little cream cheese , it's far better than white bread toast with butter !!!
@rjwintl Glad to hear I love sourdough
I make my own sourdough bread. Happy to know it’s recommended!!
Sourdough Bread is the answer
my PCP said to additionally cut-out white bread , but just read a Mayo Clinic report that says Sourdough Bread is the answer !!!
Are you taking coq10 for memory loss or to help lower your cholesterol?
