[QUOTE="KkeithP, post: 587264, member: 79399"] I'm convinced statins are responsible for my peripheral neuropathy. The doctor prescribed them, on my diagnosis for T2. At diagnosis I had no pain in my feet at all. After 2 months I'd got hot sensations in my toes with pins and needles, it was extremely painful and I couldn't sleep at night or wear my normal shoes. I stopped the statins last year and the pain is 60% reduced after 12 months. I'd suggest everyone read up on statins, the pharm companies, GP's, cholesterol etc and make their own judgement call. When I told my GP about my decision and the reasons why I stopped my statins he didn't have any disagreement at all....
