I have neuropathy. I attribute it to statins. I took every one you can think of and had the muscle reaction to all of them.The Minnesota Neurological Society published an article about statins and neuropathy back in 2002. It's on the internet. They will help your cholesterol if you are willing to have neuropathy the rest of your life. I no longer take any statin. Several doctors have told me: "No evidence" of statins and neuropathy. Sorry, I believe there is.

@rois4richo I think this may be the article on statins and neuropathy back in 2002 that you were referring to:
