I got neuropathy many years ago when I was started on statins
and just got diagnosed recently with diabetes. The neurologist
thought it might be lack of copper so now I am taking 4 vitamins
a day with 2mg. copper each one. I finally got the copper up to
normal level but the pain and tingling is still there. The only thing
I have been taking for many years is statins - not the same brand
but some form of it over the years.
