Is my statin causing peripheral neuropathy?

How long have you been off the statin that caused the neuropathy? I’ve been off for 7 weeks (after taking it for 5 1/2 months). My symptoms have lessened maybe 1/3 of what they were……still have 2/3 to go, but the neurologist told me it could take several more months to go away.
Be patient. It could take quite a while.
Best of luck! I know how it feels and it’s no fun!

Also, I’m from New England and went to a Boston neurologist who also teaches at Harvard. He’s extremely knowledgeable and I trust his judgment.
Sorry you’re having a hard time getting an appointment in Tulsa.

My N came in overnight with Stage 4 sensory nerve damage snd 95% damage to my feet and toes, WHY? I was not on station and they put me on one.I had fallen and I had a concussion which was not known for about a month. It has been awful ever since. One cannot get into a neurologist in Tulsa. My EMG was the only time I was able to see one and then he would not take me again for neuropathy. I’ve been trying to get into Mail for a year and a half. How is it figuring out how you got it, is your neurologist able to determine that I don’t take pain medication other than a strong Tylenol as the others don’t seem to work and only make me feel horrible all over and a zombie I feel like most of the clinics are nothing but a way to make money with Medicare and are short term happy fix. My primary says you have an offer. He just got home and deal with it, and my new primary says don’t give up. We need to know why how do you find out why. how did you find out why?
