Unhappy Peripheral neuropathy is no fun

I read somewhere where chloresterol lowering drugs can sometimes cause NP. I have yet to discuss this with my neurologist, but I will see him later on this month.
I am flabergasted by all the information, and especially the medical terms used in this communities. Seems like everybody else knows so much more than I do. But, never fear, I'll catch up.
Just want to say thanks for all who contribute. Information is the key.




Welcome Gyrene,

We're glad you found us.

You are a part of this wonderful informed community now.

I am so sorry you're having to deal the PN. It is painful.

I don't know if those drugs can cause or contribute to PN. A pharmacist would know the answer to that.

You're right. There's lots of smart people here who willingly share their knowledge and experience to help others. I have learned a lot from everyone.

Here is the link to PN

See ya around...
