I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel over 10 yrs ago, that was possibly the beginning of my neuropathy, although I had been complaining for years of aches and pains.
For 4 yrs, I have been taking B12, starting at 1000mcg, now 3000mcg, and soon I am going to increast it again. My neuropathy has not progressed in the last 3 yrs, it didn't go away, but not progressing is great too. My hands are better now. I wasn't able to sew, my fingers would go numb in just a couple of minutes, now I can sew with minimal tingling. There is hope.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
