on what might be your last drink of Alcohol. I don't think that dependency is related to the onset of PN symptoms. Also your b-12 number is well above 400 and that is considered the low end of acceptable. It does sound like you are quite stressed however and there is no way to mitigate that except to get busy taking better care of yourself. Proper diet and exercise should go a long way to your healing. You can double-check me(please do) but I believe Bentfolamine may be the nutrient that is depleted most in Alcohol induced Neuropathy.Your symptoms may have nothing at all to do with Alcohol but that sounds like the only smoking gun in your post. Fight the anxiety as any thing that you do is not going to be overnight. Calm and patience are hard to cultivate but you must try. Join us on the main Periferal Neuropathy Forum.
