Is my statin causing peripheral neuropathy?

I took atorvastatin for years. Also, over the past ten years developed PN. I never put the two together until reading a post in Mayo Clinic.

Last Summer I asked my GP about it ad he switched me to a non-statin med Extimbe (sp?) that is supposed to be as effective controlling cholesterol as the statins. I didn’t realize there was this alternative but if statins do contribute to PN, this is definitely worth it. Hope this helps.

Has your PN improved since getting off statins and on Extimbe? Please let us know.
