I have no 'stabbing pains' at all and haven't for the past month. The numbness and other abnormal feelings in my feet and lower legs are about the same as a month ago--a bother but fortunately don't interfere much with daily life. I don't think of booze much and generally feel great about that.

Icehouse--Congrats on your continued successes!! Sounds like you are getting a work out in your job.

Kid Wonder--Are you sure your PN is alcohol related? Dr. Wise Young (you can google him) has the view that if neuropathy doesn't reverse, at least to some extent, then it isn't alcohol related. You may just need more time. The studies that I have seen (and I will find a link to them again) show the rather impressive results of people who have been sober for 2-3 years.

Also, I don't know that everyone shares Dr. Wise's views, but he is an expert and was Christopher Reeves neurosurgeon and came to prominence consulting him when he was disabled.
