Thank you!
I have an appointment next week with a neurologist after my testing all coming out showing nothing that would cause neuropathy (bloodwork, cervical MRI, Nerve conduction study/EMG). I did share my concerns with a nurse practitioner neighbor and she told me it would take as long a time that I was taking Rosuvastatin for the symptoms to diminish (I took rosuvastatin fir 6 months, so it’ll take 6 months + fir the symptoms to diminish. Hoping she’s right.

How did youn taper off Crestor? And what do you plan to take?

I tend to think my tingling is not due to Crestor because it started before I went on Crestor. I do suspect the leg crsmps are though.

I hope they diminish for you. My Aunt was told that and hers never got any better.

Hi…you probably know this…but the sensations you are having ( if it’s truly neuropathy) would likely be small fiber neuropathy…tingling, numbness etc. This type is not able to be detected on a nerve conduction study. Small fiber neuropathy is diagnosed via a skin puncture biopsy typically. FYI
