KEEP TAKING THE TABLETS

Headlines in the Mail today proclaim that "Statins may be the wonder drug but do they have sinister side effects?" The claim by medical professionals appears to be that whilst statins are good for controlling cholesterol, they could also lead to a lowering of intelligence, memory loss, depression and even suicide.

Well, I`ve been on statins for years and although I admit to a lowering of intelligence, a fading memory and the odd bout of depression, I`ve never once felt suicidal. But `sinister` has its attractions. I quite fancy being `sinister.` I wonder if it might just suit me.
