Medication linked to Peripheral Neuropathy

Hello,
Any and all medications can have a negative effect on the nervous system and resut in bad conditions. No one in the medical field undertands the full range of all side effects of medications since our bodies react differently from one person to another.
Back in February of this year, my primiray doctor told me to stop all medications including cholesterol and supplements except for my blood pressure medication. Statins for cholesterol are being relooked at by the medical field because their long term usae can cause PN. I am now only on a new medication for PN, blood pressure medication, and 3 supplements: alpha lipoic acid, B-100 B complex, and CO Q10.
Take care and have a serene day,
gus

Hi, Gus -- Have you seen any reduction in your PN symptoms, particularly numbness, since going off your statin & etc.? Have you been told to expect improvement?

I am in a 2-3 month trial separation from Atorvistatin 80/40 mg for sensory PN and wondering how long it would be before I saw any improvement -- or indeed if I should expect any or is any damage permanent.

Thanks for any info you can provide!
