I was on it for 12 years, and was struck by the neuropathy overnight in January. When I saw a rheumatologist, because it was thought I had Sjogren's syndrome from which neuropathy can result, he told me to get off Zocor immediately, which I did.
Thanks,

Hello,
Upon retirement I had a major medical exam and found high cholesterol, was put on Zocor and six weeks later feet and legs felt weird, did a search on internet and found the old BT forum plus a few others. Made copies and took them to my pcp and started neurotin. VA started testing (polyneuropathy), quit taking the Zorcor. This is very brief summery, but I can say concerning PN been there done that. Six years later and now have prostate,bladder problems. If you think PN is bad a bout of prostatits is worse, can't walk, can't sit.
