Hello Stefanie

My name is Pamela Sharp-Popple and I am the co-moderator of Taking Lipitor and

Hate It Group. We have over a thousand members of which about 40+ are active at

any one time.

I took Simvastatin for 28 months and nearly died. My husband thought that I had

the early stages of alzeimers, I even lost a whole day in my life at an airport.

I have met Langsjoen in Tyler Texas who explained everything about Statin

damage to me during a one hour video interview.

After 3 years of pestering and cajoling my neurologist, I managed to get a

private muscle biopsy done earlier this year. And guess what it revealed that I

had a form of Muscular Dystrophy type damage, called Emery Dreyfeuss? Over 50%

of my muscles have cannibalised - and are still doing so - even though I stopped

the Statin 3 years ago. My neurologist dismissed the findings - as she has

everything else as 'not credible'

My symptoms have been, neuropathy - feet hands and face. Muscle pain & weakness

all over, bowel & bladder prolapse - it had been repaired 3 years earlier. I am

being treated at the moment for bowel incontinence - which is horrendous. I have

a low white cell count - my immune system is shot,and I constantly get childhood

illnesses, Otitis and Mastoiditis., plus severe kidney infections.(my urine was

brown in the USA 3 years ago whilst on holiday)

I have sciatica type pains in my buttocks and thighs, and the top of my spine is

numb and extremely painful.

But the worst thing of all is the memory loss. Sometimnes I don't know if I

have had my breakfast and have to look in the dishwasher for the dishes. I

forget numbers, appointments, my grandchildrens names and make constant notes to

myself. My cognitive skills have been assessed as (69) although my IQ is 125 -

the cognitive therapist thought I was making it up - until he repeated the

test. I have kept a diary and it is makes very sad reading.

The worst thing of all is that my cholesterol level was only 5.1 when the GP

made me take the dam drug - it came down to under 3!!! Like a cretins.

I don't care what it is now - just want to get it nice and high.

I eat well, take 300mgs of COQ10 and fish oil, lots cream, butter, eggs and

fresh foods - I just feel so bloody awful and no-one in the medical profession

believes that Statins have done this to my body, because I had ME diagnosed in

2003 - so they blame it all on the ME. I think that's the reason why it has hit

me harder as I already had a muscle condition. Wish I could find a neurologist

in the UK who believed me.

keep up the good work

Hi Pamela:

Thank you for sharing your story with me. It is so sad what is happening to so

many people because of statins. I am doing everything I can to get my message

out.

I just returned from a conference where I presented a 1 1/2 hour lecture on the

dangers of statin drugs. The audience was very receptive -- no push back

(although it was a highly receptive group, since they were members of the Weston

Price Foundation) [the conference was the annual Wise Traditions Conference].

I'm going to post my slides from the talk on my web page shortly --

people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/

if you wanted to take a look.

Stories like yours fuel the flames, and inspire me to work harder to take them

down! The task seems impossible, though!

Sounds as if you are doing well in your nutrition regimen. I'd also suggest

trying to get as much sun exposure as possible, and making sure you eat foods

that are rich in sulfur -- I see that you're eating eggs, but also onion and

garlic could help.

The Sciatic type pains in buttocks and thighs was my statin problem. Fortunately that was back in 2003 when I stopped taking statins. The nerve damage caused, I believe, by unshielded nerves resting on bone at the base of the spine, has left me with a dropped foot and poor balance. Stooping the statins allowed my cholesterol to rtecover and be used to build new myelin sheathing for those nerves.
