I have today accessed this web site for the first time and noted the email from bsir390@yahoo.com regarding Lipitor and Parkinson's. If you read this post, please email me @ mmlevy46@hotmail.com
I attempted to email you, but received the notation the email did not exist. I believe my husband and my niece's husband's parkinson's is directly related to their having taken Lipitor for 4+ yrs each. I am in the process of writing letters, completing a "citizen's petition" to the FDA for post-marketing studies on Lipitor looking at its relationship to neurodegenerative diseases, and continuing my own research into the Science to explain how statins cause neurodegenerative diseasses in some individuals. I have heard from 11 others who feel their Parkinson's was due to statins, and have been in contact with 3 individuals who feel their diagnosis of ALS was due to statins. actually one of the individuals had her ALS diagnosis replaced with a diagnosis of "statin toxicity" once the neurologist tested her muscles.
If these cases are instances of genetic variability interacting with an environmental agent (a statin) to produce a disease, however rarely this occurs, given the millions of people taking statins, the number affectd with neurodegenerative diseases could be enormous. I would like to hear from anyone who feel their diagnosis of Parkinson's is related to statin use. or from anyone who feel statins therapy may have affected their Parkinson symptoms. thank you
