is from olsen, who follows the statin research carefully. It explains how the side effects manifest and why.
To get over this damage, your hubby needs more than B12 and folate. He needs EFAs, (omega-3s) to rebuild the myelin, and also CoQ-10 in high doses to help improve the mitochondrial damage to the nerves. Acetyl Carnitine may help in this regard too, as it is often used for patients with chemo damage and damage from other drugs.
If you search the Peripheral Neuropathy forums for "statins" there are many many discussions there. Also at Medications, and Parkinson's, and even at Multiple Sclerosis.
Dr. Jay Cohen, MD has a book out on this subject:

His website is always interesting to read and current.

It is a shame your husband has to go thru this. A reading of 220 is not that high.
Here is a video to watch:
