Hi Barbie,

Medications used in PN do not stop PN progression. These medications assist with tolerating symptoms.

The only way to stop progression is to identify the cause and to intervene with the cause.

If the cause is diabetes, for instance, adhering to a diabetic diet may help.
Until you and your doctor know the cause, there can be no targeted intervention to arrest the neuropathy.

Sometimes, the cause cannot be identified.
This is referred to as "idiopathic PN."

If I am understanding correctly, you've had some PN symptoms prior to your pregnancy. Nonetheless, it's important you are aware of "gestational diabetes" while pregnant.

Approx. 9% of pregnant women deal with diabetes while pregnant.
Please make sure you discuss this with your doctor.
Here is an article on "gestational diabetes:"
