So.. just a thought. This may not be alcoholic neuropathy? What i've experienced? It may be because of the birth control pills and smoking taken together? Which caused the stroke/blood clotting that night?

My younger sister also experienced the same thing, more than 3 years ago. the attack/pain on one side of the body only. So this might be hereditary. The doctor only told her to take antibiotics for a year! She took amoxcicillin for 4months only and did several tests. The doctor did not find anything low or too high on her blood levels. I think the diagnosis was rheumatic heart disease? The attack did not happen again. She was not taking any birth control pills and does not smoke and do not drink often.
