I'm just hoping you are eating a lot of protein........meat, eggs, cheese....... to get enough of cell building food (with lots of carnitine). My son and a man who worked with him both got poisoned or a virus and went through a period of about a month where they had tingling and numbness which started in their legs and worked upward in their bodies. This happened to them both within days. They worked in heating & air conditioning and I was sure they were contaminated by something toxic! My son was about 36 at the time. We went to the E.R. twice. He had an MRI and also had a spot in his brain. His co worker ended up with an all over body rash and got better. My son never got "the rash" but also got better. We feared it was MS also. Must have been a virus.

Many on the lipitor board said Co Q10 & L- Carnitine helped with some of their problems. I posted below this post about the lipitor site ( thread on cholesterol). If you have time, just read some of it.

I wonder how much of your problem worsened after using Zocor. Many people have had problems right away. They were the lucky ones because the statin was immediately suspected as the culprit. The unlucky ones had problems months or years later (still on the medication) so the statin medication was not thought to be the problem until several months of tests and operations.

I'm also hoping it's a virus and wish you well. I see others on this board may have Lyme Disease. We are very close to Lyme CT. (that's where the disease came to light)and I have had it twice. I was lucky enough to get the "Bulls eye rash" that sometimes appears after getting bit by the tick, so I went on antibiotics immediately and got over it. It's pretty common to be bit by ticks in our area. My son had the test twice but it was negative. However, many times the test shows negative but the disease is later found. Not so great!

What is an EMG?

I'm wishing you well soon,
