There is proven correlation of statin use and neuropathy according to studies by NIH. I tried taking a break for 3 months from simvistatin but my lipid levels increased so went on small dose of rosuvastatin, no changes in neuropathy symptoms. It is the lesser or greater of 2 evils if you should take the statins. I am currently using red light therapy, exercise and CBD topical. I use CBD drops and melatonin for sleep.
I also have read about statins and neuropathy. My cardiologist switched me to Zetia. This may not cure neuropathy but possibly stop progression. Another med is Repatha.
It's something to talk to your cardiologist about.
