The neuropathy has responded well to supplements such as Benfotiamine, Magnesium and Calcium, etc (and of course - giving up alcohol, which was the cause of the neuropathy). As far as the neuropathy goes, all I am now left with is some mild numbness. Having read the info. on the site regarding Amitriptyline - I am wondering if this may well prove beneficial in eventually eliminating the numbness? Does it really help the nerves to heal / regenerate? I have started with 10mg at night and have been instructed to gradually increase to 25mg. I would be very interested to learn about anyone else's experiences and thoughts on this matter.
