Neuropathy: What works and what are scams?

I took rosuvastatin for a couple of years . I was not a diabetic before taking it . I did my research . I found out that Rosuvastatin can raise your blood sugars . My Dr Malachia Trout at the Fargo VA told me that she knew that the statin would raise my blood sugars . She said that she made a decision that was best for me . When I started having tingling in my toes and feet . I asked her if the statin could have caused the problems . She said no. But , she never once told me that the statin could take me from a prediabetic to a diabetic . I stopped taking rosuvastatin and my blood sugars went down . I now am taking Alphalipoic acid . It helps with the tingling and burning .

Please tell me what the brand of ALA is that you take and how much.

Totally unrelated to statins, but I took another prescribed medication (gabapentin) A few weeks ago, and it put me so out of it that I fell in my bathroom in the middle of the night and sustained an L1 compression fracture. I can’t believe how much information is not shared about the medications we are prescribed. I have so many bottles on my counter right now with this new injury after my hospital release. It’s ridiculous! Quality of life is down the drain with all of this stuff! I will be stuck in bed for I don’t know how long, and all because I was overprescribed. And in all likelihood unnecessarily prescribed, according to all the physicians in the hospital. Thanks for the response and I’m really sorry for what you’re going through. The overuse of pharmaceuticals is out of control! Good luck to you!
