Statins that won't cause/worsen neuropathy

Cheers to your sister, phpilgrim.
The tingling is considered a positive sign of nerve damage, almost always reversible when the statin is stopped. A cardiologist just advised me that if you have the muscle or nerve reaction to one statin, you'll have them with every statin, though I've read here of different people finding one that works for them.
I'm giving Repatha a wary eye.

Thanks for your reply, gently. Since I stopped the statin for 5 months and the tingling didn't go away, it is probably permanent nerve damage. I have also heard that people may react to each statin differently. I'm hoping that will be the case with me.
