Hello ididit1960,
Reading your post I was shocked as it matched my symptoms after taking Zocor for six weeks. I didn't get the headaches but it started in the left foot and progressed to both feet and legs. Have been diagnosed as idiopathic by one neuro and polyneuropathy by another. The big let down to all of this is there is no know cure. My wife has been very supportive the last five years as this hit when I retired and had many objectives I wanted to pursue. Your husband appears to be the highly active type. You will find a great deal of knowledge and support here. Visiting the old forum I told my PCP I thought I had PN. Pain is the main enemy with this condition along with limited mobility. I wish you and your husband the very best. Please keep in touch and let us know the out come. I have tried many drugs for this condition and also many supplements as well as devices such a tens unit, air cuffs, foot messagers. I suggest beside taking the oral supplements suggested on the PN forum you get your husband magnesium gel to rub on his arms and other areas of his discomfort. God Bless both of you.
Lanny
