Welcome to NeuroTalk:
Did the doctor put you on Antabuse to help you stop drinking?
If so, this drug causes neuropathy, so you are going to have to consider stopping it.
When people stop alcohol after years of heavy use, lots of symptoms show up suddenly. These may have been hidden by the sedative effects of the alcohol, or are an adjustment to having a different method of metabolism in order to digest carbs. Many people giving up alcohol then develop sugar cravings for a while until this adjustment to a different metabolism happens.
Alcohol metabolism is different than food metabolism.
We have a long thread, with several posters here who have neuropathy and have gone sober. On the thread is support, discussion of how alcohol damages nerves, and suggestions for supplements to aid healing.
