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.
