Reversal of Statin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Glad you asked this because I had just sent in request to my cardiologist to wean me off the atorvastatin for this reason.

I’ve had severe idiopathic axonal Polyneuropathy for about 20 years that was progressing slowly. Since being put on statins 2years ago my PN has progressed from using a cane to go out to using a wheelchair. My legs feel like they’re incased in lead stockings and my muscles have atrophied to where I’ve taken several bad falls- It’s not particularly painful thankfully, although I’ve been on LDN for years which may make a difference.

I’m hoping I might get at least some amount of healing back because it feels like I’ll eventually become paralyzed. Going off the statin is worth a try.

Wonder what your cardiologist will
recommend. It does seem connected by how you describe the change. I hope they'll find a path back to you being more mobile. What is LDN? Does it reduce pain? I really hope your Dr's. can help you out. Take care. Air hug..!!
