I've cancelled Thanksgiving with my family because I can't see myself doing all that cooking and can't eat anything; no stuffing, no potato salad, no candied yams, no dessert! What's the point.

All I know is when I was taking Statins I was in a total funk and everything slowed down. After many months my doctor took me off them and in 2 weeks it was like the sun came out. The doctor said I was in a Lipitor fog. Tried Crestor also, same result. So now I do not take statins
