For what it’s worth I did drink a bit last weekend for the first time in months and the symptoms did seem to come on a little harder. But it’s so hard to tell with how up and down they’ve been. Guess my only option is to cut it entirely for a while and see if things improve. My neuro exam seemed relatively normal but with the emg coming up clean not sure what other type of nerve damage it could be.

Recently I also had a 2 hour glucose test and testing for celiac and neither came up with anything. I’ve done blood work for just about every known cause and so far nothing. Maybe I did just get the short end of the stick and it’s idiopathic or alcohol caused it at a lesser amount than others. Who knows.

Edit: I just found out my insurance doesn’t require a referral for specialists. There’s a few neurology clinics near me so I’m going to try to find another one that’s open. With the testing and visits I’ve already hit my out of pocket max so they might as well throw everything at me testing wise.
