That is what my neurologist told me as well. I have basically been ruled out of every symptom on the list in that study. This is why i keep going back to 6 years on a statin and acid reducer. One of those, or the combination had to have had something to do with mine. There have been specific studies linking statins to neuropathy, oddly enough they are not something listed in that study. Lots of medicines are proven to cause neuropathy but we wouldn't want to make the big pharmaceutical companies look bad now would we?
