Hey qz, welcome.


Usually, neuropathy seems to be on both sides; only feet, only hands, both, right up to the whole body and face. It takes many forms, and it's quite possible it could only affect one side. However I'm not a doc so it is best to check with those who could know. It could be a blocked nerve in your spine, or it could be, indeed, peripheral neuropathy. Most of us here have quite different symptoms, but we're all quite sure we suffer from PN.



In any case, with a problem like this it is best to say goodbye to alcohol. As you may have read here, it's not easy, but it is certainly doable. 2 weeks is a fantastic start, and I would say if you can do that, you can do 2 years, 2 decades, or lifetimes. (well, you only have one of those of course but you know what I mean. )


Important note: drinking temporarily numbs the pain, so when you stop it is quite possible it feels even worse for a while. That is very confusing, but you have to keep in mind that goes away.



Good luck, keep writing.
