I play chess online every day. When I started on statins I lost 200 rating points within a couple of days. To put this in context 200 points would be a decent improvement over a year of play. I had constant brain fog which showed up at work. I was still able to do my job but it was noticeably harder to achieve the same results. I compensated by working an extra hour or two each day. After 6 months I decided it just wasn’t worth it (there was a multitude of other side effects as well) so I stopped taking them. Sure enough my chess rating immediately jumped back up.
