Hi blanewt

It's possible your neuropathy could be due to a different (or multiple) causes besides the zinc poisoning. Did you have specific blood testing done for zinc levels at the time you became physically impaired and have you had follow up testing done since stopping using the denture cream? Besides the physical symptoms did you have any cognitive dysfunction during that time? ie memory lapses, mild speech impairment, confusion etc. Headaches are another possible symptom.

I found the loss of balance, headaches, and some of the cognitive issues improved significantly, but gradually, within a few months of stopping the zinc.
The symptoms of zinc poisoning can be also similar to those of Vit B12 deficiency and other nutrient or metabolic disorders.
