Hi.......I had the same diagnosis, in my Neurologist saying my PN was idiopathic (inherited).
I asked her about possible Statin use being the culprit but she denied any correlation.
I felt very disheartened when she looked at me and said " I feel like you're asking me for a Magic Pill......well there isn't one and your condition can only get WORSE !! Boy, I guess she told me ! I left with my tail between my legs....some " bedside manner" .......😿

pdrago1955 - Unfortunately, sounds like you are right, your doc does not have good bedside manners. It doesn't matter if she is right or wrong in her diagnosis, to me, there is a right and wrong way of dealing with patients. I would like to see one of our mentors weigh in on this statin issue. I always appreciate their opinions.
