Statins affect nerves as well as muscle. Demyelinating means they damage the axons to nerves and/or prevent healing from minor damage. I would think for CMTers this would be a double whammy of sorts, not a minor issue. Whatever the process of CMT damage, you certainly don't need MORE damage from a drug, like statins.
3 of the 4 types of afferent nerves in the periphery are myelinated.
