The heat coiled around Lori Elbertson as she stood in the parking lot, suddenly at a loss for why she was there.

After that day in May 2003, Elbertson, a 41-year-old health care administrator, struggled to recall the simplest things -- sometimes just a word or a name -- while doctors tried to understand the reason for her memory loss.
It wasn't until two years later that Elbertson and her physician began to suspect her problem was related to a cholesterol-lowering medication called Zocor."Former NASA scientist-astronaut Duane Graveline in his book Lipitor: Thief of Memory, wrote about baffling incidents involving complete loss of memory.
All was well until six weeks later, when my wife found me walking aimlessly about the yard after I returned from my usual walk in the woods.
I did not recognize her, and only reluctantly accepted cookies & milk--but refused to go into my now unfamiliar home.
I "awoke" six hours later in the office of the examining Neurologist with a diagnosis of transient global amnesia, cause unknown. An MRI performed several days later was normal.
Since Lipitor was the only new medicine I was taking, the doctor in me suspected a possible side effect of this drug. Despite the arguments of the examining doctors that statin drugs just did not do this, I stopped my Lipitor.
