Title: Statins.....seems like I've been missing out
Post by: gazza1960 on April 01, 2014, 10:57:18
Don't you just love the Mail,it seems not only does my magic potion in the shape of simvastatin
Help in my  Diabetic fight against heart disease and stroke potential,it apparently has the ability to
Invigorate my libido...........Really........after 3 years of taking this wonder drug I don't feel any more randy,Any more Sunday afternoon romp,anymore :are you tired Luv;scenarios than before I started taking it.......I beleive the reason is that for all it's good,the bad is the unquestionable effect on my memory .........what's that......where was I.......ok.......yes my memory has been shot to pieces ever since I started taking Statins......I recall a conversation at a Diabetics meeting with a then school head who being recommended statins found her NOW memory shot,so hense she stopped taking them,and yes of course I understand each med affects us all differently but it's common knowledge that statins have adverse effects on memory.......errrrr.  Where was I......so.....yes I still take them
But no I'm no better sexual lethario than previously,I'd rather cook a good meal,and I'm sure after
30  years together......Jude would much rather just eat it ....than me.......!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Goodlife, that was interesting this morning on the today programme about Earl Grey tea, just wondered why we hadn't heard about it before?   :sunny:

Probably because it too cheap and too good to be true..only tea industry will benefit from the now increased sale figures.
But if it truly works...(that's if one believes the 'great cholesterol con' in first place)...it just comes to show how important 'food' is as 'medicine'...I rather have nice brew (not talking about alcoholic ones) than popping some pills.. :icon_cheers:

Drank it all morning, and with lunch. Went for the afternoon cuddle, but first, as it was starting to work, went for a Jimmy Riddle.
Oh Dear! messy bathroom... whoops!!!
