jarrett, don't ever give up your hope. Sure, you will often read nothing but bad news about neuropathy, but no one, not even the doctors can absolutely prove that someone can never improve or get better. The body is complex and everyone really is different. I have had two other medical conditions that most people don't improve with, and I did. Yes, there is no guarantee either way, but keeping hope alive like you is vital to me as well....
