Interesting, thanks for the additional information Henk @tys. I took statins for blood pressure for quite a few years when I was in my 40s then I did a Mayo Clinic heart study and they determined my high BP was caused by hypertension and changed my meds to Spironolactone (aldosterone receptor antagonists). I had always thought in the back of my mind that my idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy was caused by statins and did a lot of research on them but it could just be a case of genetics and old age since I'm 77 🙂
