Statins for M.S.

[Guest guest]

I read about the Statin Drugs being used on mice on the Harvard

Mancer Board " Brain Talk Communities " . From what I understand the

mice in this study were injected with something to paralyze their

legs and then placed on Statin Drugs. You can find a report on this

if you go to http://www.captainclark.com/pages/jamareport.html

My M.S. Specialist told me he wanted to put me on Lipitor for my M.S.

but couldn't do it unless my cholesterol was high, so he sent me to

get my cholesterol checked. I was on Lipitor a month before it

started making my legs so weak I could hardly hold myself up with my

walker. When I went back to my G. P. he told me I didn't need the

Statin Drugs because my Cholesterol had dropped below 200, that my

LDL was still a little high but that I could easily lower that with

my diet. I stopped the Lipitor because of the leg weakness. When I

told my M.S. Specialist I had stopped them he Said, " I want you on

them! " He wrote me and my G.P. a letter saying He wanted me on them

because of the M.S. and that Lipitor was " my drug of choice " - He

never gave me a choice! He also said they are just now going

into " Human Trials " with it for M.S. He can find another human for

his trials and I'll find another Doctor. Go to the website I posted

and see what it did to those mice. Would you want to try it?

Hi, I hope y'all are having a good day! I am taking 20 mg., of Lipitor and it has had an incredible effect on my MS. I was in a wheelchair for 4 months and now I can walk with my walker and sometimes even use a cane. I used it for three weeks before I felt the difference. Before I began the Lipitor, my legs felt so heavy and now they feel lighter and I move with so much more ease. I took Betaseron for 4 years and felt that it helped me not at all! In fact, my MS progressed a lot, I had to quit teaching children, I was depressed and felt badly. The worst part was I had two really bad injection site boils. At that time, I said NO to any more injections! In addition, I took Novantrone for almost a year. Again, my neurologist and I decided it wasn't really helping me. Now, I take Zanaflex for spascity and some pain meds. Also, I take a multi-vitamin, co-enzime Q 10, C, and calcium. My mobility is SO much better and my fatigue is better, also. I think the statin drugs show a lot of promise. Has anyone else had any success with Lipitor or Zocor?

I enjoy all of your e-mails. I wish y'all a super-good day! : )
