Re: [TMIC] Diabetes Statin Drug Questionnaire
Hi Rosalie, I don't know much, but I know that recently I have been put on two different kinds of cholesterol meds and with both of them have had a reaction that feels like I am being paralyzed all over again. I've been in bed, unable to eat, fever and UTI that did not respomd to the first two antibacterials. My cholesterol is too high. I know that. But, I wonder how much the medications have to do with these strange symptoms that start at my toes and go all the way to my shoulders. The shoulder involvement is new. So, what's going on?

I HAVE BEEN ON ZETIA AND LIPITOR-NOW CRESTOR- FOR YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS, EXCEPT FOR SOME MUSCLE SORENESS I CONTROL WITH CO-Q 10. FOR THOSE ON EXPENSIVE CRESTOR, MAY I SUGGEST YOU HAVE THE DOCTOR DOUBLE THE MG'S AND YOU CUT THEM IN HALF, IT IS MUCH CHEAPER THAT WAY. TOO BAD MY ZETIA AND ACEPHEX CANNOT BE DONE THAT WAY, THEY ARE EXPENSIVE, TOO - ESPECIALLY THE ACEPHEX.

Re: [TMIC] Diabetes Statin Drug Questionnaire
I was on Lipitor when I was hit with TM. Of course, the Dr. did not believe the Lipitor had anythng to do with TM. I had no muscle problem whle taking it but went off it after TM just to see if it helped with any TM symptoms but it made no difference. My cholesterol went back up and after about 6 months went back on Lipitor.

Re: [TMIC] Diabetes Statin Drug Questionnaire
I too had a fairly quick onset of TM (still not fully diagnosed) Labor Day weekend 2005. Felt like i was standing on a live wire down both legs and became paralyzed from the waist down. Now can move my legs and even drive but cannot stand alone or walk without a walker. My primary neuro still thinks it was an infarction of the spinal cord but several others including a doctor at the Cleveland clinic believe it is TM. Perhaps it is one and the same. Also, I had been fighting taking Zocor for my high cholestoral for years and just that summer decided to take it (40mgs) I had been taking it for about 6 weeks when this struck. I also thought that the statin drug had something to do with this but all the drs. pooh poohed it. Even now, a year and one half later one dr. talked me into to taking Lipitor (20mgs) He says that the statin drugs could not cause TM. I hope he is right. Anyone else on drugs for cholestoral. Any other thoughts?? Thanks,Rosalie from sunny Fla. but now in freezing NY for a week. BRBRBR**BR AOL now offers free email to everyone.
