One thing that someone said a long time ago that is so true with dealing with neuropathy is that nerves heal so slowly, that neuropathy improvement is measured on a 6 month basis. While your nerves heal they will send screwed up signals that may make you think it's getting worse.
If you want my personal opinion, I agree with Glenntaj, your nerves are starved for nutrients and oxygen. Your smoking can only make things worse as you deliver over 1000 harmful chemicals straight into your blood stream.
By stopping smoking and taking the right supplements and nutrients to assist with healing you will be helping your nerves to heal.

The good news is that nerves can heal but they require alot of TLC.
