@CaitlynR He's seen a neurologist, had MRIs and is awaiting (another) carotid ultrasound.
But...thanks to the info from the good folks here and the brain scan, we are thinking that statins may be a big cause of his problems. So he stopped them and will have another blood test in six weeks to make sure he's controlling diet enough to make some doctors happy.
They mostly seem convinced that statins are the best drug ever. But I don't get why a drug that can cause diabetes, and so many other problems, is such a gift to mankind.
I will mention a neuropsychologist to him, though. Thanks.
