Right. There is no treatment, there is no cure and there is no
recovery, beyond what nature will do on its own and rehabilitation to
allow one to better function and that limited to how damaged one has
been. Some severely injured statin users are being misdiagnosed with
Parkinson's, ALS, MS and profound mulitple strokes, until they get into
see one of the four or five doctors in the U.S. who know what it is
(Phillips at Scripps Mercy San Diego being one). There is no recovery
for any of those either, if we mean--back to the way they were.

It is a very hard thing to bear. It was avoidable. And you know what?
Each and every one of those people thought they had to take the drug.
The medical profession who get their drugs continuing education from
pharma (the same pharma Rennie decries) told them so. The ads told them
so: They had a serious, serious health problem. Name it there is
someone on this newsgroup who represents each one of those serious,
serious problems and is taking a statin putting up with side effect
because they "have to take it."

I can't begin to fathom what a statin drug will do to a heart already
damaged. To one who has already had bypass surgery. How many I wonder
do not recognize the symptoms they are experiencing are likely from
statins not from their original health "problem".

There is no recovery for the profound damage to the myelin sheath which
will happen to all who take statins eventually if the coenzyme q10
theory of statin damage is correct. If there was people with MS would
have 'recovered' by now from their nerve damage. It is similar if not
identical.
