I just called her and said "you know what has caused your neuropathy, the statins"...so it's not unknown as your doctors have told you. She says that about 4-5 yrs ago her daughter printed out info on statins and neuropathy and she took it to her doctor and he denied the statins are the cause!!!! Soooo many people just don't question their doctors or the drugs, etc. Well, off my soapbox..had to vent a bit.
