Simvastatin Stops Parkinson's Disease In Mice
Comments
|
I have elevated LDL cholesterol and I have Parkinson's. I have been reading the articles about simvastatin and Parkinson's and how the statin may stop the progression of the disease. I also have read about the possible bad effects of the drug. Nevertheless, I have requested the drug from my doctor since with my elevated number it wouldn't be an off-label use. I will take a small dose too start. I'm tossing them both in the air. One of them will kill me. If possible why not be more comfortable until the end? Why suffer if it will help?

I asked my cardio doctor to change to Simvastatin 2 1/2 years ago after reading about VA database study (http://www.theheart.org/article/802535.do ). My disease progression is nill. My cholesterol is well under control. I use 80 mg, very satisfied.

Daily Horoscope for December 26
Virgo
Mercury is turning retrograde at just the right time, because it's telling you to consider the validity of your long-term aims and aspirations. If they stand about as much chance of seeing the light of day as you do of winning the Lottery, then you need to streamline them or even abandon them and start again. So think about what you want from life and how you're going to get it. Children and romance may be quite erratic during this phase.
