Mrs. D,

Last year because of some of the post; yours included, I asked my doctor to lower my dose of 20mg's of Simvastatin to 10 mg's because I was concerned it might be causing my PN to worsen.

After reading Snoopy's 1/18 post regarding her memory, etc.,; I could have written the issues she was dealing with. I have been quite concerned/worried whether I am dealing with side effects of other meds or am I at the beginning stage of Alzheimers.

I felt safer being a low dose of 10mg's of Simvastatin. I never did notice any difference in my PN; especially the legs aching continually worsening, as well as the ankle/feet burning;.... but never suspected the above memory issues a possibility. Looking back, these memory issues began being problematic over the past year or so. Do you think a dose as low as 10mg's of Simvastatin could possibly be at issue???

Again, thanks for all you do at NT. You are much appreciated.
