Is my statin causing peripheral neuropathy?

Yes, my foot and hand tingling/numbness started right after I started Rosuvastin too. But, my Covid happened about the same time as well. Hmmm….interesting. Is it expected to change, since you stopped taking it?

I’m still waiting! I read where it can take 3-6 months after stopping taking the drug. I also read, unfortunately, that it could be longer.
Like I said, I’m still waiting for results if 2 more tests, but I have a feeling they’re not going to show anything that would tell me the cause.
I’ve always been very healthy. I’m 71 and very active. I skied 108 days this winter. I stopped when symptoms were getting worse and I hadn’t seen my primary care doctor about it yet. I walk, hike, bike as well. This has definitely thrown off my outdoor activities!
Are you going to stop taking rosuvastatin or ask your doctor about the possible connection?
