Am I missing something or following the wrong course of action?

[Guest guest]

In my quest to understand my memory and focus problems, I've taken a

NeuroPsych test after my 2nd doctor's recommendation (the 1st one

ignored me and prescribed Prozac for depression). I mentioned to the

Neuro Psych testing person that statins (Crestor) have side effects

like cognitive impairment and muscle problems when he asked me what I

think was going on in my body.

Are we the only ones who know about cognitive impairments that can be

a side effect of taking statins?

The tester had not heard about statin side effects (even Crestor shows

memory loss as a side effect for some people) nor had he heard about

CoQ10 depletion. The test results showed nothing organic in my

condition, so I think his conclusion boils down to stress related. He

must have read about statins afterward, because he had stated that

statins may actually help cognitive effects in the elderly.

I joined the website a few months back and have learned much about my

continuing memory problems (off Crestor for 1 1/4 years)and

similarities to others. I had these symptoms long before I pursued

taking charge of my health due to the ignorance of the medical

profession. I did not get the symptoms by reading this vital

information. I read a brief article in the WSJ which made me get off

Crestor, but I did not followup until recently. I'm hoping CoQ10 and

Fish Oil are helping me.

I'm sure the memory/focus loss caused stress, rather than the

opposite. Where to next? The recommendation was behavior modification.
