I was a daily drinker for a while and from what I can tell, it didn't get bad until I dried out for a few days. First it was just tingles and twitches. But in the end when I dried up in a detox I was in a world of pain.

It could be that it's now out of your system and you are feeling it. But I am not sure our situations are comparable if you weren't drinking in the same way I was.

With that said, perhaps knowing that it's there is bringing it into focus.

For mild cases, Ive read it can clear up. Best thing that I could do for myself was to try and get healthier. That's just my experience but even starting off with a little here and a little there. Getting in tune with my body was key. Understanding how to fit in exercises and stretches throughout the day to get my blood circulating. Eating better. Making sure I had done enough in the day that I would be able to sleep. It was a process for me, but aside from the nagging neuropathy, I'm much healthier because of it.

Not sure if this has been posted here but it's got a lot of good info.
