Bill,
I do recall that I was taking statins several weeks before I took what is
referred to as an IST (In Service Training) class. I took some notes in
much the same way that I took notes in college classes. However, when the
test was given, it was like I had not even been in the room. I could not
recall the teacher even mentioning some of the items that were on the
test. I barely passed due to the notes that all students were allowed to
refer to when they took the test. Without those notes, I would have
failed. It was at that time that I realized that was having a serious
problem with my memory. I done some research and was of the opinion (at
that time) that I had Dementia (I am 54 years old). I continued to take
statins but realized that I needed to stop working since I had an
important job and I would probably fail some future classes were note
taking was not allowed. Since I had a year of sick leave credits, I had
working and will retire after the sick leave credits run out. Full
retirement benefits kick in when employees are 55 years old. I'll be 55
before the sick time credits are used up. I stop taking statins several
weeks after I found out that statins were the reason for my memory and
muscle related problems. I seem to recall that it was a couple of months
after I stopped working.
