this is an old thread, but I thought I would add: I personally know that you need to take CoQ10 if you take statins. I was on Lipitor for a while, saw the bad press, stopped taking it, and then my endocrinologist did a routine cholesterol test and said it was WAY HIGH, so I told him I stopped it for a month, and he highly recommended I go back on it.
I was getting very tired/lethargic at one point. for many months I just slept a lot, had little energy, etc. I researched all the drugs I took, and found some stuff about Lipitor screwing with your CoQ10. so I got some CoQ10 and within two days, all the tiredness was gone! it was like a miracle. I still take the generic statin today, but with every statin pill I pop, I also take 200 mg ubiquinol by swansons. I am convince it is needed. |

I took 10 mg Lipitor around 1999 and had no side effects for a long time, so when I started noticing numbness and burning in my feet, I never suspected that Lipitor was the cause. Thank goodness my daughter-in-law read an article in the Peoples Pharmacy about statins causing these problems.

That is good news. As I've said here or maybe on another group, we are a "new world" of tests, numbers, research, science blah blah blah. Enjoy and get a little more bouncing. My new PT has me doing a rebounder in their gym and bouncing more on the BALL. I dusted my BALL off and bouncing on it more at home.
Due to all the OA mess and hip joint mess, I can't do what I did for years. |

This is a huge study that refutes other theories that statins "help" Parkinson's.
