I really think, anyone with PN taking a statin and having PN, will not respond much to any thing other than dietary changes...removing foods that cause problems. I get burning from nightshades so I avoid them.

The CoQ-10 will protect your heart muscle from the statin, but it will not necessarily help the PN.

I have a post here showing the damage to neurons from statins:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0510150143.htm
statins damage neurons ...these are the photos illustrating it.
Statins also damage the nerve cells ability to repair myelin.
And it is thought they damage the mitochondria too.

This post is new too...

It is from a scientist who posts on PD forum here.
It breaks down the statistics of benefit vs risk for statins.

I would think long and hard about using a statin when you have neuropathy.
