This sort of suggests you have a problem with that pathway.
So the supplement Benfotiamine, may be useful for you.
Thiamine is the cofactor in the metabolism of alcohol.
I'd start at 300mg a day of Benfotiamine. You may be able to reduce to 150mg a day, after a few months.
I'd also try acetyl carnitine, since this has shown benefit in
drug induced neuropathies as well.
If you go to iherb.com there are some prices on both of these.
Doctor's Best brand and NOW are both very good quality.

Thanks! My neuropathy is gone completely in my left hand, and leaving my right. My feet are taking longer, but my chiropractor says this is normal, since they are farther from my heart. His name is Corey Clements, by the way, in Long Beach, CA, and I would recommend him above all other Docs, Neuros, etc...he is invaluable in helping with pain and also is very affordable ($75 for 4 visits). He has helped me by far than anyone else. Good luck to all with this very painful and depressing disorder.
