I'm new here so sorry if what I am going to relay has been discussed. My peripheral neuropathy was diagnosed about 15 -17 years ago after I felt a cold toe. That was it. I went to a neurologist who diagnosed me with peripheral neuropathy. I thought nothing of it since it was just a cold toe. He looked concerned but maybe I was in denial. After several years the cold toe led to numbness and some pain in my feet (both). Coincidentally (?) I started taking atorvastatin for my cholesterol around the same time. I never gave it a second thought or made any connection between my feet and my cholesterol which was lowered.

Fast forward, My numbness is progressing. No pain due to taking alpha lipoic acid 600mg daily for years. My theory since my PN is not related to diabetes or hereditary causes. Mine is "unknown". It has to be the statin that caused my PN. Proof? None. Next step? Reducing or changing my statin? Seeing a Mayo Clinic doctor?
