Length dependent SFN

I had SFN which was a side effect of Rosuvastatin. I was on it just 5 1/2 months. After being OFF Rosuvastatin
, it took about another 5-6 months for my nerves to heal as my Boston neurologist said they would! I’m finally back to normal!
While experiencing the symptoms of SFN, I thought I’d never get better! Lots of blood work, tests and nerve conduction studies to determine that I indeed had SFN.

I was on rosuvastatin 20 mg. for 2 years. My test results on nerve biopsy say
severe length dependent SFN on all 3 sites on leg. The reference range was
>9 normal. Mine is 1.8 when severe is 0-2 mm fiber density. This is so discouraging, but I did go off the statins at the end of August. More blood tests this morning for celiac disease and a few other things. I'm glad to hear you are back to normal.
