    Momzy - i was on Atorvastatin for 2 years - endless problems. Tingling in hands and feet were minor issues compared with the mess they made of my health. 3 years clean and only just getting health back.

      Hi Marymint - thank you for your response. Night time was a horrible journey - i had to keep getting up to stretch my muscles, my joints ached and i had phantom itches particularly in the small of the back. There were multiple other issues but I won't terrify you with them. Good luck whatever you decide and we are always here to talk.

    Atorvastin does have neurological side effects that you may be experiencing as itchy feet
