My Drs haven't mentioned this to me but in one of yesterdays papers (it could have been the Yorkshire Evening Post) the cover was about statins halting dementia so maybe they do something to the brain as well as cholestrol.

Hi hon

I take statins for high cholesterol, professor Tim Reynolds, chemical pathologist at Burtons Queens hospital said it should thin the blood a little too.

Take care gentle hugs love Sheena xxxxxx :-) :-) :-)
