Things like this make me ask ... would he have been sharper without them?
That’s what I run into with my doc. “You seem sharp to me”. Yeah, I’m a resonably smart guy, but could I be better if I skip these? Slowdown may not be apparent to others, but it is to me.
- neffy 8y agoNot a doctor... observed some interesting side effects with my parents on these, and would personally err on the side of caution with them. If you do come off though, do it gradually - also there are different types, so it may be worth looking into that.
- jonhendry18 8y ago"would he have been sharper without them" Probably not? It'd be pretty unusual for an already sharp person to become sharper at age 80.
- eyeball 8y agoSharper at 80 with statins or without statins was the question, not sharper at 80 than at 70.
- jonhendry18 8y agoSince he kept working for another 19 years, including supervising heart surgery on Boris Yeltsin, he probably didn't suffer much of a decrease in sharpness on statins, if any.
