I had tingling and numbing in my hands and feet. After few weeks ...

You were smart to do your own research (I did the same) , since drs. don't know or don't care about the side effects of the drugs they push . . . . .very scary.

Neuropathy from statin drugs is a well understood although you won't find it in the literature that came with the drug. Tingling hands and feet, numbness, and nerve pain are all part of LDL cholesterol deprivation.

Look to basic human biology 101 to understand why this happens. Cholesterol plays a very important role in maintaining the human nervous system.

Pharma sales and marketing 101 sweeps this fact under the rug. The two most important sales tools in statin sales are: 1) Broom 2) Rug

In an earlier post I wrote "I had tingling on the ends of my fingers and toes at random - hard to describe but it was as if a fairly sharp object (like a ball point pen, say) was being pressed progressively harder from the end of the finger/toe and towards the rest of that finger/toe: and as the pressure increased it would suddenly become painful. It was not a tingling/numb sensation but more a tingling which increased sufficiently that it hurt". When I described this to the cardiology surgeon's assistant doctor he shrugged.
I have a new cardiologist. I point blank refuse to take statins.
