I will jump into this conversation. My doc put me on 40mg of Lipitor 40 years ago, as my mother and older sister both had heart attacks in their 60's as well as quad-bypass. I am 82 and started experiencing tingling in my toes, then feet and now lower legs. As it was hard to walk much less do much with all this tingling, I decided to try CBD cream of a supposed strength of al lease 500mg (the FDA does not regulate the mg strength but try a strength that may help) I have been using CBD cream on my toes, feet and lower legs every morning and in the evening if I go out for the evening. Some days, I have total no neuropathy and others a bit of burning but no tingling. My Cholesterol numbers runs under 141. I think I will stop Lipitor for a week or so and see if my neuropathy lessens.I also have fibromyalgia on my upper body and I take 75mg every 12 hours. Hope what I have written helps someone else.
