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 20
Sagittarius
Once again, the domestic atmosphere isn't exactly peaceful. Someone is still all worked up, and you may have come out in sympathy by now. Try to discuss things with as much objectivity as you can muster, otherwise, with Mars now retro, the conversation will soon disintegrate into a bad-tempered spat or a slanging match in which you try to catch one another out. It's important to clear the air.
