Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

Hi! I had the “sock bunched under the toes “ feeling for years before finally being diagnosed with pn... no other health concerns. No meds other than large dose Of atorvostatin for about 20 years.
It is now in feet and lower legs.. numbness only.. and not complete numbness.. feeling of wearing long socks. Went off atorvostatin last year and am now taking smaller dose of simvastatin. Have been taking coq10 (had not done this before). No progression or regression noticed yet. Hang in there!
I do have cold feet and need to wear warm socks.

@marymaurer, I took statins for over 15 plus years but no longer take them. I've always thought that may be why I have idiopathic small fiber PN. I'm just happy I only have the numbness and not the pain. Sadly I think the longer you have been taking statins, the less likely it is for regression to occur.
