The suggestion was to keep doing what I was doing and come back in a year for a follow up.

Outside of lifestyle changes which include incorporating vitamins, I don't think there is much more we can do. I'm going to keep on pushing on.

I just don't fully understand how it progresses if you eliminate what is causing it. It makes no sense to me. What you guys have said (stop/drastically reduce intake coupled with healthier lifestyle) makes a ton of logical sense to me.

I had an appointment with a neuro, their initial read was it isn't alcohol related neuropathy because it is more in my calf area than in my fingers/ hands and toes/feet. They did blood tests and physical exam (reflexes, etc) and said all is fine.

I have an EMG scheduled for Oct 24th. What should I expext3, is this super painful, or just uncomfortable?
