Is my statin causing peripheral neuropathy?

I've been on rosuvastatin for over 3 years? I'm trying to find out the dates in my portal. I went vegan 7 years ago, so no meat, also I don't eat many processed foods. I had been on simvastatin previously, but stopped when I changed my diet. Then for some reason it went up to 200 and doctor suggested rosuvastatin given family history. My ratio of HDL to LDL was good with low triglycerides, so I should have done more research. I hope you are right and it begins to get better. Thank you for your response.

I’ve always had a great HDL, usually somewhere between 90-120. It’s my LDL that’s the problem. When mine went to 137 is when my PCP switched me to the “more powerful “ one, Rosuvastatin! My body just couldn’t handle it. I was told all along not to worry about my total cholesterol being 200 or more, and it’s the LDL to watch for.
Best of luck. I forgot you were on it 3 years. Maybe it’ll take a bit longer than it took me for the symptoms to subside, but I truly hope you find relief! Are you on any statin now? Did your doc put you back on Simvastatin?
