You're right...this can take some time to reverse (if it does). It sounds like you are heading in a better direction now and hopefully you will have caught this before too much damage occurred. Whether or not you can get normal feeling back remains to be seen. Have you had any testing done (NCS, EMG or skin biopsy) to confirm your neuropathy?

What about your B12 level? If not you should have it checked. It needs to be more than 400, but in your case...much higher. A B complex may not be enough. MrsD is more knowledgeable about how much B12 to take based upon your current level.

Also, careful with the zinc...as it can lower your copper levels and this (in itself) can cause neuropathy.
