STATINS AND ALS-LIKE SYNDROME

When researching information on peripheral neuropathy I found this information:

“For susceptible individuals, the use of a statin drug can interfere with proper functioning of peripheral nerves. Researchers assume that the build-up of statins in the body causes neuropathy in some individuals. If left undiagnosed, neuropathy can lead to deterioration of the muscles and paralysis. This can lead to problems swallowing, breathing, and complications of the heart – as these all involve muscle groups. In the extreme case, severe neuropathy as a side-effect to statin use can lead to death.”

I took Lipitor/statins for two years and suffered a severe adverse drug reaction last year. I was told to stop the drug after a blood test showed my cholesterol level had gone down dangerously low to 4.mmol/L. I had a horrendous pain and pricking sensations in the upper back, could hardly talk and had difficulty writing. I checked these symptoms on the internet and found 'statins and ALS-like syndrome' which fitted these symptoms. But I now believe these symptoms are autonomic and peripheral neuropathies caused by the statin drug which are very similar to the 'ALS-like syndrome' description. So perhaps the label 'ALS-like syndrome' is inaccurate and the correct diagnosis is neuropathy. There is an on-line petition to the pharmaceutical companies from hundreds of people who have suffered peripheral neuropathy from taking statins. I almost died of cardiomyopathy and neuropathy caused by the statin-induced toxic/chemical poisoning but was never admitted to hospital for investigations and treatment and have been left with irreversible damage. The doctors concerned are in denial refusing to admit that the statins have done this but I read my medical records recently and discovered record tampering to cover-up the medical disaster and have been struck off for this. The GP who prescribed the statins refused to report the ADR to the MHRA so their statistics are grossly unreliable. I have read about adult stem cell treatment that may be able to treat the muscle wasting and blood vessel damage which seems to be the only hope of a possible cure? One clinic said they often hear statin horror stories like mine. Lipitor/statins is an extremely dangerous drug and Pfizer should be forced to withdraw it from the market immediately. It is a fraud and those responsible are putting profit/greed before patient safety. It doesn't save lives - it severely harms and kills thousands of patients around the world. It is a 'disease' invented by the pharmaceutical companies. I never had any heart problems before I took statins and it has been a horrific experience.
