Is my statin causing peripheral neuropathy?

I'm concerned that you discontinued the statin without replacing it with a non-statin medication for high cholesterol. The concern is that your arteries could clog again. Do you have an appointment with your PCP to request a different medication to lower cholesterol?

I have a very high “good” cholesterol HDL of 139. I am not concerned at this point. My neurologist thought that I probably don’t need a cholesterol lowering drug. My LDL isn’t horrible, although it is above 100.
I definitely will not take a statin again, which my neurologist also suggested. He’s very knowledgeable and teaches at Harvard. I think he knows what he’s talking about. I trust him.
