Re: CoQ10 and Dupuytrens

My hand is still doing great since I stopped the CoQ10. I can still feel the one cord when I press down on that area of my palm. The one nodule is still there. It may have decreased a little more in the last three months, but not significantly and more importantly, it has not progressed. Personally, I will never go near C0Q10 again. That is how much I feel it impacted my Dupuytrens.

Re: CoQ10 and Dupuytrens

I stopped taking condroitin and glucosamine in January as soon as I saw on this website a possible connection with Dups. I stopped CoQ10 in early May when I saw a possible connection with it. My Dups was itchy active as well nodules visibly progressing until I had RT in July. I did not see any decrease in progression as a result of stopping either of the supplements. As we well know, Dups is different for everybody. Even though I saw no change when I stopped, I have elected to not add them back as supplements.

Re: CoQ10 and Dupuytrens

Greetings
this is my first post, I had searched on coq10 and Dupuytren’s and was surprised to find this thread. I was searching on Coq10 because of two articles.
The first is from a physician whose patient reports that his DD improved with use of COQ10. Here’s the article
Could coenzyme Q10 be the treatment for Dupuytren's disease?
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6398680/

The problem with this article is the same problem with the above post theorizing that COQ10 causes or triggers DD- it’s anecdotal, it’s one patient’s experience. It’s a case report. It has value, but limited. And we don’t have good bio markers to run a blood test and say this is effective.

However, the research into Peyronie’s and COQ10 is more substantive. For example
Safety and efficacy of coenzyme Q10 supplementation in early chronic Peyronie's disease: a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized study
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20720560/
Note that this article was covered in the journal Nature, and cited.
https://www.nature.com/articles/ijir201020

So solid enough for me to pursue as a remedy not a cause. Not that I have Peyronie’s— but I have Dupuytren’s in both hands, Ledderhose in both feet, and I have had frozen shoulder twice. I’m sure if I had the organ, I’d have Peyronie’s. I assume I have Dupuytren’s Diathesis. I have just started taking COQ10.
I think that we all need to be cautious. It’s a chronic disease that is not well understood.
I’ll let you know how my COQ10 regimen goes.

Re: CoQ10 and Dupuytrens

Hi Poppy
On the BDS Facebook group for DD and LD there are few, mostly positive, experiences from people who have explored the benefits of taking COQ10. As you say these are mostly anecdotal, self selecting to give positive feedback, and usually without longer term follow up. But anyway it will be interesting to hear about your outcome or views after a few months.
Best wishes SB
