Many toxic neuropathies (including drugs), resolve when the drug is removed.
It is far more statistically likely that the drugs you take now (or in the very recent past) are culprits. The list of drugs that cause PN used TODAY is becoming longer and longer. Some drugs taken for long periods of time, years, permanently damage nerves. Others like fluoroquinolones can damage quickly. Millions of people have taken Cipro and Levaquin since they came on the market alone. There are websites devoted to these all over the web.
