I take atorvastatin. I've been taking a statin for about 25 years.
I'm 75.
Yes, I have short term memory 'deficiency'.
I call it deficiency, because sooner or later I can usually remember whatever it is.

Not immediately, but a few minutes later, especially if I don't think about what I was trying to remember.

Sometimes it's a few hours later.
It goes this way:
That guy who played Hans Solo in Star Wars?
You know.
The guy who played Indiana Jones?
That guy.
He was in "Air Force One"?

2 a.m. I get up to take a leak and "OH HELL, HARRISON FORD!"

P.S. I don't wake Miz t. up to tell her this.
