Lightbulb My neuropathy started

when I was about 30 yrs old.

It is not a big deal for me now. I have some discomfort mostly at night, but it is very minor compared to what it WAS...which was terrible. Mine was due to hypothyroidism that was not
diagnosed properly. AFter getting thyroid replacement over 15yrs later, my pain was mostly resolved within a year.

I still have some burning occasionally, and arthritis issues, but they are minor now.

There is a thread in the stickies about improvements.

The peripheral nervous system does regenerate with time.
With continued damage from continued exposure to the agent causing it--- or failure to treat autoimmune issues, or discovery of a genetic hereditary cause...these are the more negative scenarios.
