Is my statin causing peripheral neuropathy?

@artemis1886 - wondering if you are still taking Leqvio? My cardiologist has recommended it but there is little in the way of data regarding side effects. (I, too, have peripheral neuropathy likely caused by rosuvastatin. For that reason and others, statins are not an option for me.)
Thanks in advance!

Yes! I am still taking Leqvio and it is working. It does not have the side effects that statins have because it’s not a stain. It has lowered my cholesterol and put it in range. My cardiologist had me fill out the information for the manufacturer to pay the 700.00 dollars that was my portion. I was approved and pay nothing. Since, I was approved it is given by an approved infusion center. They call it an infusion but it is a simple shot. I do not understand why the manufacturer had it approved under infusion. It does not affect my neuropathy.
As an RN I did continuing education credits on it. That’s why I started it. I have had three shots of it. The fist one, three months later second shot, third month later every six months.
