You did what so many people for pain self medicate,one of my
kids in-laws new he was a Diabetic but for years,and really the
type of job he had he would have drinks for business lunches,and in was
in pain with PN,he as many had no idea what that was.

He finally when to Family Dr. and she sent him to neour,hehaven't had
a drink in yrs,he lost weight,he excercises,can't walk without cane
or walker..He had all the tests and has the best insurance.16 yrs. later
the man is not getting better. Oh and sumppliments,his Diabetic is better,
he's in hs 60's but he suffers from PN from feet up the legs and
hands and up the arms..He is retired,and has the insurance and money
to go th hopkins,he is close enough to go to Barnes Jewish which is
where his Neour is,question why is he not getting better,oh he has
a great wife who watches him like a hawk..ha They were able to
travel but he just can't anymore.. Hugs to all Sue His b12 was normal.
