Hello @annoranna, Welcome to Connect. I also have had peripheral neuropathy for over 20 years but I only have numbness for symptoms. There are also other related discussions that you may want to join to meet other members who have discussed statins and neuropathy. Can you share what symptoms or condition is being treated by atorvastatin?
