I have suffered from PN for 2 years. I'm 77 years old and I have been on 20mg of pravastatin at bedtime for about 15 years. Could this be the cause if my NP? And what other chlorestrol medications are available that won't aggrevate my NP that I can discuss with my PCP? Thanks

You might want to scan through the discussions on alternatives to statins - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=alternatives+to+statin.

Not sure anyone can determine if the statin is what has caused your neuropathy but it's a discussion worth having with your doctor. Have you talked to your doctor about alternative ways to lower your cholesterol?
