mizz mg I also have alcoholic neuropathy. Drank for 30 yrs. Have all the good things that go w/it. Cardiomyopathy, balance problems, neuropathy from the knee down on both legs, no ankle reflexes and the worst is alcoholic Hep C. Take 1600 mg neurotin and 250 mg effexor a day. Tried all of the vitiamins and thiamin, folic acid etc. This didn't help. But don't get discouraged some days are better than others. Neurologists have told me once the nerve damage is done it's irreversible unless caught very quickly. Hopefully, yours is caught in time. As for the health ins. try if possible to get on Medicaid thru your state it will cover all depending on income. Keep your head up and do your best. Hopefully, you will get relief.
