I am one of those who statins screw with my memory and I am made to feel like it is just old age [View all]

My memory has holes in it...I forgot an activity my church was holding this evening...I take statins and it drops information upon occasion. I never know when or what it will drop so I have a calendar upon which I write activities so I will see them every day. Well, I forgot to write this one down thinking of course I will remember it. I am damn sick and tired of being told that it is just my age...BS. Even when I am doing some things in the house when I get distracted I lose my initial project upon occasion.
Last week I was talking about the capitalist system with a person and could not pull out the word capitalism to speak no matter how hard I tried. The next day was no problem capitalism came to mind with no effort. What makes me so damn mad is that I know the word or the persons name that I newly met but at times it won't access and that makes me madder than hell. And to be viewed as this is an old age problem tears me apart. Has anyone here had the same madding problem? I know why this occurs but it does not help
