The answer to the above is yes. Progression can stop definitely....he said the symptoms can least a year or more, and I might just go numb (my wife would already say I am,but that is a different story). He said I should see improvement....

Many people over the years have been damaged by drugs.
Statins and fluoroquinolone antibiotics are the most common.
I am unaware of recovery from these. You can find forums all over the net about this topic. There has been a recent hint that IV glutathione may help recovery from the fluoroquinolones.

Damage from chemo is sometimes preventable if acetyl carnitine is used before and during the chemo. The AIDs community uses it too.

So what drug damaged you, Mark?

If this is viral, you may see improvement. Or not... there are no guarantees.

I hope you do show improvement. But it would be nice to have some answers to work with. Such as why you are low in B6.
Let's hope that P5P stays on the market long enough for you to use it successfully.
