Statin other side effects

[BrianTheElder]

I hear a lot about the side effects of statins - chiefly digestive and muscle issues. Of course there is also the main issue of interfering in a beneficial body system.
However, I see increasing references to other side effects, like decreased platelets, decreased B12, raised blood sugar, which are not on the published data.
Can anyone add to my list, please?

I'm sure it's increasing my blood sugar, but will be discussing that with my GP today. Also brain even foggier than normal (I'm on 2 different anti-depressants too).

I had memory loss my granddaughter who was then a pharmacist told me it was due to the statin I was on.
