I realize that was a lot to read but I'd like to summarize and accept opinions and criticism.

-Left foot PN symptoms x 10 weeks
-Right foot symptoms x 5 weeks
-Arm burning tingling x 10 days (worse the past 3 nights)

-Vitamin D level = 26
-Vitamin B12 level >1000
-Blood Glucose levels= Normal (No reason to believe diabeties)
-Heavy alcohol use on and off x 12 years (Most likely cause of PN symptoms)
-3 days sober as of today

-I started taking ALA, B12, D3, Benfotiamine, B Right Complex, ALC, Fish Oil
(as of today)
-Taking Nortriptyline x 1 week
-Seeking referral to nuerologist for consultation
-Have appt with a psychiatrist to deal with anxiety/depression
-Cutting down sugar/carbs & upping fruit, vegetables, and nut intake

-Most importantly I'm thinking about my daughter and wishing I didn't wait so long to get my health in order. It breaks my heart every time I think of what I'll miss out on due to my selfishness and poor decisions the past decade. Thanks for listening
