Is my statin causing peripheral neuropathy?

There is much research suggesting that statins may cause PN. Why did the doctor stop the Zetia? If you need something else to lower your LDL, then ask for Repatha. It is a every other week injection that you give yourself. I started it 5 months ago and got great results.

Big B;
I read an article from info. on natural cures about a fruit called
Citrus Bergamot. It's a fruit grown in Spin, it's about the size of a lime but the color of a lemon. Anyways it's available as a supplement that supposedly will replace all and any Cholesterol medications with absolutely NO side effects.
I asked my doctor if she could get me a prescription for it but she told that I would have to see a Naturopathic doctor because a regular doctor can or aren't allowed to prescribe supplements. I think it's cause the big Farma has full control.
So I was just checking to see if anyone here has heard of this Citrus Burgamot and if you've ever tried it .
I've been on Atorvastatin for 5 years now and I don't like all the bad things it does to our bodies. I mean its bad enough getting old let alone having to deal with neuropathy, muscle pain and everything else that comes with it . Believe me if I could afford it I would get all my medications through Naturopathic doctor. All your stories and info. are greatly appreciated, thank you in advance for your response.
Big B.

Thanks for the info @26sabrina - I see my primary in July and will bring it up. The reason she switched over to Lipitor is because I was having some side effects on Zetia that I don't experience on Lipitor.

Hola Qué interesante! Podrías compartir alguna de esas investigaciones sobre estatinas y Neuropatía Periférica? Me sería de gran utilidad leerlas Gracias!
